BROWN EYES Sung by: Miles A. Jones Recorded in Poughkeepsie, AR 9/8/61 Click here to listen to the original recording Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes, Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes, I’ll never love blue eyes again. Seven long years I’ve been married; I wish I was single again. A man never knows all his troubles, Until he is married again. (Chorus) Down to the barroom he staggered. He fell down by the door, And the very last words that he uttered, “I’ll never get drunk any more.” (Chorus) Also found in Randolph, 1st ed., Vol. II, #319. |
