Jerry

Oh, sweet Jerry

The man that she would marry

He'd say, "Oh, darling don't you cry

For I will always be by your side"

She took Jerry for granted

In her life he was firmly planted

She'd say, "oh, sometimes I wonder why

Jerry always stays by my side"

Jerry worked hard everyday

He worked so the bills could be paid

While she dreamed of a better life

Where she was another man's wife

Then early one October morning

She left Jerry with no warning

He said, " oh, darling 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

And 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 help 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

And years have passed on by now

And Jerry, he gets by somehow

But he still whispers, "oh Darling don't you cry

For I will always be by your side"
