Subject: Lyr Add: YOUR SWEET AND SHINY EYES (Nan O'Byrne)
This is the way I (used to) do the song:

Your Sweet and Shiny Eyes
Nan O'Byrne

Your sweet and shiny eyes
Are like the stars above Laredo
Like meat and potatoes to me
In my sweet dreams we are
In a bar and it's my birthday
Drinking salty Margaritas with Fernando.

Young and wild we drove down
A hundred miles of Texas highway
To the Mexican border
As the day was coming on.
We crossed the Rio Grande river
And we swore we'd do things our way
When we happened to walk into Nuevo Leone.

Your sweet and shiny eyes
Are like the stars above Laredo
Like meat and potatoes to me.
In my sweet dreams we are
In a bar and it's my birthday
And we're having our picture taken with Fernando.
