Johnny Cash Brown-eyed Handsome Man Lyrics

Brown-eyed Handsome Man Lyrics

Oh, arrested on charges over unemployment

He was sitting in the witness stand.

The judges wife called a district attorney

She said free that browned eye man

If you want your job you better free that brown eyed handsome man.



Well, flying across the desert in a TWA,

I saw a woman walkin' in the sand.

She'd be walking 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 lotta good women shedding tears

Over a brown eyed handsome man,

A lot of trouble was a brown eyed handsome man.



Well, a beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind

Between a doctor and a lawyer man.

Her mother told her daughter go out and find yourself

A brown eyed handsome man,

Just like your daddy was, a brown eyed handsome man.



Well, the milo de venus was a beautiful lass,

She had the world in the palm of her hand

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 home

He hit a hi'flyer into the stand.

A rounded third he was a-headin' for home

It was a brown eyed handsome man that won the game.

It was a brown eyed handsome man.
