She Gave Her Heart to Jethro — текст песни (Tom T. Hall)

I guess you know jethro went crazy; weve 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 shes 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 shed 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 jethros, 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 mans not writin if he cant 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
