Tom T. Hall - She Gave Her Heart To Jethro Lyrics
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
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
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

Tom T. Hall She Gave Her Heart To Jethro Comments
he is the best.
I sure miss the old story tellers
The story of Jenny and Forrest Gump
And her body to the whole Damn world !!
Another great story
Good song great singer
She had to keep herself sane.
I'd challenge ol T to write a song about a guy who couldn't start his lawnmower ( He'd have the guys wife's boyfriend borrow the spark plug for his motorcycle they ran away to Florida on).
Pretty deep song
Probably pretty deep for Jethro.
One of America’s Great songwriter singer, A true American.God Bless you and keep you.
The most beautiful love song ever written!!!!!!
another unique song, lovely one to hear...
Jethro was a military Veteran
Love this song of his . For I know of it .
Best melody of any of Tom T's songs. And one of the best lyrics. In both cases that's saying a lot. "She gave everybody a whirl..."
She was a good time that was had by all.
Great storyteller!
Don't be judgmental, A woman does what she must, OR for that matter a man
Thanks for posting this beautiful song
You need to understand! This song is about a social worker. The Peace of the Lord!
what No it isn't
I know a lot of girls like that, loves one man but sleeps with many....
Mike Wayson They dont want it to rust.
@bill grant or they're just whores that shouldn't get married
Love this one..................
I just wrote a story for school with a guy named Jethro in it. didn't even think about this song when I wrote it
Another great one by Tom T. Telling a story often played out in life
Haven't heard this in over 35 years. thanks for posting it!!
