[Verse:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Verse 2:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Verse 3:]
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
[Chorus:]
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

[Verse 4:]
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

[Chorus:]
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
