Brown Eyes

One evening when the sun was low My brown eyes whispered, "I must go." Not one second would she wait. She kissed my cheek and left my gate. [Chorus] Those brown eyes I loved so well. Those brown eyes I long to see. How I long for those brown eyes. Strangers they have grown to be. One night I met her on the street. I tipped my hat but I could not speak. Another man was by her side. Soon I thought she'd be his bride. [Chorus] 'Twas just a year ago today, They laid my own brown eyes away. Six long years for me she cried. It was her brother by her side. [Chorus] --- Brown Eyes - Woody Guthrie
