Thread Name: Lyr Req: Beautiful Brown Eyes
Subject: Lyr Add: BEAUTIFUL BROWN EYES
Don't know if I've got the right song...the first version was found on a search, the second is the way I learned it.

Beautiful Brown Eyes

Beautiful beautiful brown eyes
Beautiful beautiful brown eyes
Beautiful beautiful brown eyes
I'll never love blue eyes again

1. Willie I love you my darling
Love you with all my heart
Tomorrow we might have been married
But rambling has kept us apart

* Refrain

2. Down through the barroom he staggered
And fell down at the door
The last words that I heard him utter
I'll never see brown eyes no more

* Refrain

3. Seven long years I've been married
Wish I was single again
A woman mever knows her troubles
Until she has married a man

* Refrain


Alternate:

Willie, oh Willie I love you
Love you with all my heart
Tomorrow we might have been married
But roamin' has kept us apart

*same refrain

Down to the barroom he staggered
Staggered and fell at the door
The last words that he ever uttered
I'll never get drunk anymore
