Lyrics
Brown Eyed Handsome Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, arrested on charges over unemployment
He was sitting in the witness stand.
The judges wife called a district attorney
She said free that browned eye man
If you want your job you better free that brown eyed handsome man.
Well, flying across the desert in a TWA,
I saw a woman walkin' in the sand.
She'd be walking thirty miles en route to bombay
To meet a brown eyed handsome man,
Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man.
Way back in history three thousand years,
In fact ever since the world began,
There's been a whole lotta good women shedding tears
Over a brown eyed handsome man,
A lot of trouble was a brown eyed handsome man.
Well, a beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind
Between a doctor and a lawyer man.
Her mother told her daughter go out and find yourself
A brown eyed handsome man,
Just like your daddy was, a brown eyed handsome man.
Well, the milo de venus was a beautiful lass,
She had the world in the palm of her hand
She lost both her arms in a wrestling match
To win a brown eyed handsome man,
She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man.
Well, a two, three the count with nobody home
He hit a hi'flyer into the stand.
A rounded third he was a-headin' for home
It was a brown eyed handsome man that won the game.
It was a brown eyed handsome man.
