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."
