NINA SIMONE - Brown Eyed Handsome Man lyrics

rate me

BROWN EYED HANDSOME MAN

Arrested on charges of unemployment,

he was sitting in the witness stand

The judge's wife called up the district attorney

Said you free that brown eyed man

You want your job you better free that brown eyed 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

Two, three the 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
