She Gave Her Heart to Jethro Songtext
von Bobby Bare

You know, old Jethro, he went crazy
′Course we've all been crazy some time
They fixed up his lungs and his liver
But they couldn′t fix up his mind

He had 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

Now, Jethro, he had someone he could talk to
They were monsters and little green men
He never talked much to his woman
He just spent all his time with his friends


In the evening, she'd drive off and leave him
She′d toss back her long pretty curls
She gave her heart to Jethro
And her body to the whole damn world

Her friends all begged her to leave him
They said, "Jethro he belongs in a home"
She said, "My heart is Jethro′s
But my God-given body, that's 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

She gave her heart to old Jethro
And her body to the whole damn world
