Testo Jerry

Oh sweet Jerry, the man that she would marry,
He'd say Oh, darlin' don't you cry
For I will always be by your side

And she took Jerry for granted.
In her life he was firmly planted.
She'd say, Oh, I wonder why
Jerry always stays by my side
Jerry worked hard every day.
He worked so the bills could be paid.
While she dreamed of a better life,
Where she was another man's wife.

Early one October morning,
She left Jerry with no warnin'.
He said, Oh, darlin' won't you stay?
And she said Jerry, I've got to get away

Oh, sweet Jerry, the weight he could not carry.
And oh, oh how he tried, and when she left,
Oh how he cried.
Weeks passed by and the phone rang.
The voice on the line was broken.
She said, Oh, the world is oh so cold
Jerry your love kept me warm and helped me to be bold

And Jerry thought she would come home.
For without her he felt so alone.
She never did, and he always wondered why.
And when he felt sad, he hid it with a smiles lie.

Years have passed on by now,
And Jerry, he gets by somehow.
Be he still whispers, Oh, darlin' don't you cry
For I will always be by your side
