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
