Brown Eyes Woody Guthrie (Ft. Cisco Houston)

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

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

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

'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

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
