Here is a definition of the origin of the term "Gibson Girl" from Wikipedia.
The Gibson Girl was the personification of the feminine ideal of physical attractiveness as portrayed by the pen-and-ink illustrations of artist Charles Dana Gibson during a 20-year period that spanned the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States.

Lyrics to Hemingway's Songbird.

on my table there's a cold fresh martini
crumpled papers an old cigarette
I spend my days pouring my life onto the pages
tales of lost love and ancient regret

I still wear the locket you gave me for my birthday
well I kept it though I'm really not sure why
some days I swear I hear you singing through it to me
a river of words I drink from when I'm dry

CHORUS
so many reasons not to stay
so many chances to walk away
nothing sadder than nothing left to say
I kept holding out
hoping you might change
you went on breaking my heart anyway
yeah you I guess it's what you do

the Sunshine Inn motel outside of Houston
matchbook said "the place it never rains"
where you swore you would always be my songbird
and I lost myself to you in those three days

CHORUS

these days you'll find me down at Harry's
it's a dive bar where I like to spend my time
it's dark inside the food ain't much to speak of
but it's peaceful and the people there are kind
