Brown-Eyed Handsome Man

(Lyrics by Chuck Berry)





Arrested on charges of unemployment, he was sittin' in the witness stand
The judges' wife called up the district attorney, she said free that
Brown-Eyed Man
If you want your job, you better free that Brown-Eyed Man


Flyin' across the desert in a TWA, I saw a woman walkin' across the sand
She'd been walkin' 30 miles en route to Bombay to meet a Brown-Eyed
Handsome Man
Her destination was a Brown-Eyed Handsome Man


Way back in history 3,000 years, in fact ever since the world began
There's been a whole lotta good women sheddin' tears for a Brown-Eyed
Handsome Man
That's a lotta trouble for a Brown-Eyed Handsome Man


Beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind between a doctor and a
lawyer man
Her mother told her, darlin', go out and find yourself a Brown-Eyed
Handsome Man
Just like your daddy, he's a Brown-Eyed Handsome Man


Marlo 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 meet a Brown-Eyed
Handsome Man
She fought and won herself a Brown-Eyed Handsome Man


2-3 the count with nobody on, he hit a high fly into the stands
Rounded third, he was headed for home, it was a Brown-Eyed Handsome Man
That won the game, it was a Brown-Eyed Handsome Man

Flying across the desert in a TWA,
I saw a woman walking across the sand
She been a-walkin' thirty miles en route to Bombay.
To get a brown eyed handsome man
Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man

Way back in history three thousand years
Back every since the world began
There's been a whole lot of good women shed a tear
For a brown eyed handsome man
That's what the trouble was brown eyed handsome man

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
That's what your daddy is a brown eyed handsome man

Milo Venus was a beautiful lass
She had the world in the palm of her hand
But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match
To get brown eyed handsome man
She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man

GUITAR BREAK

Two, three count with nobody on
He hit a high fly into the stand
Rounding third he was headed for home
It was a brown eyed handsome man
That won the game; it was a brown eyed handsome man
