RE: Previous post...

SPARKLING BROWN EYES
Recorded by Webb Pierce (with The Wilburn Brothers)
Words and music by Billy Cox

There's a Ramshackle Shack (There's a Ramshackle Shack)
[In old Caroline]
It's callin' me back (It's callin' me back)
[To the girl of mine]
Those two brown eyes (Those two brown eyes)
[I'm longin' to see]
Oh, the girl of my dreams (Oh, the girl of my dreams)
[She will always be.]

CHORUS

Those two brown eyes, (Those two brown eyes)
[That sparkle with love]
Came down to me, (Came down to me)
[From heaven above]
If I could fly, (If I could fly)
[Like a beautiful dove]
I'd fly to the arms, (I'd fly to the arms)
[Of the one that I love.]

When it's harvest time - down in old Caroline
I'll be driftin' back - to that gal of mine
I'll spend my days - with the girl that I love
With the help of One - up in heaven above.

When the whippoorwills called - on the hills far away
We'd sing love songs - and she would say
"My love for you - will never die."
We bid farewell - and I said good-bye.
