Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gone are the days when the ox fall down
Take up the yoke and plow the fields around
Gone are the days when the ladies said "Please"
Gentle Jack Jones won't you come to me"
[Verse 2]
Brown-eyed woman and red grenadine
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down
And it looks like the old man's gettin' on
[Verse 3]
1920 when he stepped to the bar
He drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar
1930 when the wall caved in
He made his way sellin' red-eyed gin
[Verse 4]
Brown-eyed woman and red grenadine
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down
And it looks like the old man's gettin' on
[Verse 5]
Delilah Jones was the mother of twins
Two times over and the rest were sins
Raised eight boys, only I turned bad
Didn't get the lickin's that the other ones had
[Verse 6]
Brown-eyed woman and red grenadine
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down
And it looks like the old man's gettin' on
[Verse 7]
Tumble down shack in Big Foot county
Snowed so hard that the roof caved in
Delilah Jones went to meet her God
And the old man never was the same again
[Verse 8]
Daddy made whiskey and he made it well
Cost two dollars and it burned like hell
I cut hickory just to fire the still
Drink down the bottle and be ready to kill
[Verse 9]
Brown-eyed woman and red grenadine
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down
And it looks like the old man's gettin' on
[Verse 10]
Gone are the days when the ox fall down
You take up the yoke and plow the fields around
Gone are the days when the ladies said "Please"
"Gentle Jack Jones won't you come to me"
[Verse 11]
Brown-eyed woman and red grenadine
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down
And it looks like the old man's gettin' on
Gettin' on
