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.
