Lyrics

Arrested on charges of unemployment,

he was sitting in 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

Flying across the desert in a TWA,

I saw a woman walking across the sand

She been a walkin` 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 lot of good women sheddin` tears

Over a brown eyed handsome man

Some got in trouble for a brown eyed handsome man

Beautiful daughter couldn`t make up her mind

Between a doctor and a lawyer man

Her mother told her darlin` go out and find yourself

A brown eyed handsome man

Just like your daddy, he`s a brown eyed handsome man

Milo Venus was a beautiful lass

She had the world in the palm of her hand

But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match

To meet brown eyed handsome man

She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man

Two, three`s the count with nobody on

He hit a high flier into the stand

Rounding third he was headed for home

It was a brown eyed handsome man

That won the game; it was a brown eyed handsome man
