Ronnie Hawkins - Brown Eyed Handsome Man Lyrics

Arrested on a-charges of unemployment
He was sitting on the witness stand
The judge's wife called up the district attorney
Said, "You free that brown eyed man
You want your job, you better free that brown eyed man"

Beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind
Between a doctor and a lawyer man
Her mama said, baby, go out and find yourself
A brown eyed handsome man
Like your daddy, a brown eyed handsome man"

Yeah, way back in history, three thousand years
In fact, ever since the world began
There been a whole lotta good women sheddin' tears
Over a brown eyed handsome man
A lot of trouble, a brown eyed handsome man

A-flyin' 'cross the desert in a TWA
I saw a woman walkin' 'cross the sand
She walkin' forty mile en route to Bombay
To meet a brown eyed handsome man
Her destination, a brown eyed handsome man

Yeah, DeMilo's Venus was a beautiful lass
She had the world in the palm of her hand
She lost a-both her arms in a wrestling match
To meet a brown eyed handsome man
She off and won herself a brown eyed handsome man

Yeah, a two, three to count with nobody on
He hit a high fly into the stand
A-round to third he was headed for home
It was a brown eyed handsome man
He won the game, it was a brown eyed handsome man
Oh, the game, it was a brown eyed handsome man
He got the woman
A brown eyed handsome man
