Sonya Kitchell - Jerry lyrics

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 pa**ed 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 pa**ed 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
