Jimmy Lee loved
Gertie
From the bottom of
his heart.
He swore on stacks
of Bibles
That they would
never part.
He loved her more
than anything
In his whole durn
life.
If things were very
different,
She would be his
wife.
He would take her
everywhere
He could. Ain’t that
sweet?
He’d take her to the
movies
And then later out
to eat.
He loved to show her
off
When going to the
store.
They had the perfect
life.
Who could ask for
more?
When Jimmy Lee went
driving,
He’d take her for a
ride.
It made him feel so
good
To have her by his
side.
And, oh, how he
smiled
When he took her to
church!
He knew his Gertie
wouldn’t
Leave him in the
lurch.
She wasn’t much for
housework
Or taking care of
chores.
She wouldn’t wash
the windows;
Nor would she sweep
the floors.
Jimmy, he did
everything;
He pampered his ol’
girl.
But after all, his
Gertie
Was his shining
pearl.
Gertie always
loved--
And it really wasn’t
strange—
To spend a lot of
time
At the firing range.
To Jimmy Lee that
was
The epitome of fun.
Oh! By the way:
Gertie was his gun.
