Flying across the desert in a TWA,
I saw a woman walking across the sand.
They were walking thirty miles
from Ruth to L .A. to get a brown
Her destination was a brown
Mile -old Venus was a beautiful lass,
she had the world in the palm of her hands
But she lost both her arms
to get a brown -eyed handsome man
A brown -eyed handsome man
practically ever since the world began
And a whole lot of good women
for a brown -eyed handsome man
That's what the trouble was,
a brown -eyed handsome man
Beautiful daughter couldn't
between a doctor and a lawyer man
But Mama told her daughter,
a brown -eyed handsome man
is a brown -eyed handsome man
Arrested on charges of unemployment
He was sittin' in the witness stand
Said, you free that brown -eyed man
you better free that brown -eyed man
for a brown -eyed, handsome man
That's what the trouble was,
a brown -eyed, handsome man
