She Gave Her Heart To Jethro |
I guess you know Jethro went crazy |
We’ve all been crazy sometimes |
They fixed up his lungs and his fever |
But they could not fix up his mind |
He married a beautiful redhead |
Of women they say, she’s a pearl |
She gave her heart to Jethro |
And her body to the whole damn world |
Well, Jethro had someone to talk to |
They were monsters and little green men |
He never talked to his woman |
Naw, he spent all his time with his friends |
In the evenings she’d drive off and leave him |
She tossed back her long pretty curls |
She gave her heart to Jethro |
And her body to the whole damn world |
Some friends came and begged her to leave him |
They said, Jethro belongs in a home |
She said, my heart is Jethro’s |
But my God given body is my own |
Now some of her lovers were strangers |
She gave everybody a whirl |
She gave her heart to Jethro |
And her body to the whole damn world |
I know some will condemn me for writin' |
This song of a man and his wife |
A man’s not writin' if he can’t relate |
All the things that he sees in his life |
I know some will condemn me for cursin' |
But much can be said for this girl |
Who gave her heart to ol' Jethro |
And her body to the whole damn world |
