Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Flying cross the desert in a TWA
I saw a woman walkin' cross the sand
She'd been a-walkin' thirty miles en route to LA
To get a brown eyed handsome man
Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man
[Verse 2]
Milo Venus was a beautiful lass
She had the world in the palm of her hand
But she lost both her arms in a wrassling match
To get a brown eyed handsome man
She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man
[Verse 3]
Way back in history, three thousand years
Back ever since the world began
There's been a whole lot of good women sheddin' tears
For a brown eyed handsome man
That's what the trouble was, a brown eyed handsome man
[Verse 4]
Beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind
Between a doctor and a lawyer man
A mama told her daughter, "Now, go out and find yourself
A brown eyed handsome man
Just like your daddy is a brown eyed handsome man"
[Verse 5]
Arrested on charges of unemployment
He was sittin' 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"
[Verse 6]
Way back in history, three thousand years
Back ever since the world began
Been a whole lot of good women shed a tear
For a brown eyed handsome man
That's what the trouble is, a brown eyed handsome man
