She Gave Her Heart to Jethro

Tom T. Hall

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 damned world.

Well Jethro had someone to talk to they were monsters and little green men
He never talked to his woman now 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 damned 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 damned world.

--- Instrumental ---

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 old Jethro and her body to the whole damned world...
