Brown Eyed Handsome Man

Lyrics

[Originally by Chuck Berry]
 Oh 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'd 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 shedding tears
 Over a brown eyed handsome man
 A lot of trouble with a brown eyed handsome man
 Well a beautiful a 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
 That's what your daddy is a brown eyed handsome man"
 Well the Milo de 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 win a brown eyed handsome man
 She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man
 Well-a two, three the count with nobody on
 He hit a high fly into the stands
 A-rounding third he was a-heading for home
 It was a brown eyed handsome man
 That won the game it was a brown eyed handsome man
