"Brown Eyed Handsome Man" lyrics - ROY ORBISON

Arrested on charges of unemployment
He was sitting in the witness stand
The judge's wife called up the district attorney
Said, "Free that brown-eyed man
You want your job, you better free that brown-eyed man"

Flying across the desert in a TWA
I saw a woman walking across the sand
She been a-walkin' thirty miles en route to Bombay
To reach a brown-eyed handsome man
Her destination was a brown-eyed handsome man

Way back in history, three thousand years
Back ever since the world began
There's been a whole lot of good women shedding tears
Over a brown-eyed handsome man
A lot of trouble - was a brown-eyed handsome man

The beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind
Between a doctor and a lawyer man
Her mother told her, "Darling go out and find yourself
A brown-eyed handsome man
That's what your daddy is - a brown-eyed handsome man"

Marlo Venus was a beautiful lass
She had the world in the palm of her hand
But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match
To win a brown-eyed handsome man
She fought and won herself a brown-eyed handsome man

Well, 2-3 the count an' nobody on
He hit a high fly into the stands
A-rounding third he was headed for home
It was a brown-eyed handsome man
That won the game - it was a brown-eyed handsome man
