BROWN EYES Sung by: Mrs. Alice Isringhouse Recorded in Holly Grove, AR 6/15/59 Click here to listen to the original recording Brown eyes whispered, "I must go." Not one moment could he wait; He kissed my cheek and left the gate. Chorus: Those brown eyes I loved so well, Those brown eyes I long to see. How I sigh for those brown eyes, Since strangers they have grown to be. One evening I met him on the street. I bowed my head; I could not speak. Another girl was by his side, And soon I thought she'd be his bride. (Chorus) Just one year ago today, They laid my brown-eyed boy away. Up in heaven, where I long to be, A brown-eyed angel waits for me. (Chorus) |
