LYRICS
Arrested on charges
Of unemployment
He was sitting in the witness stand
The judges wife called up
The district attorney said you better
Free that brown eyed handsome man
If you want your job you'd better
Free that brown eyed handsome man
Flying 'cross the desert in a TWA
I saw a woman walking
'Cross the sand
She'd been walking thirty miles
In route to Los Angeles to meet
A brown eyed handsome man
The destination was
A brown eyed handsome man
Way back in history
Three thousand years
Back ever since the world began
Been a whole lot a good women
Shedding tears for
A brown eyede handsome man
That's what the trouble was
A brown eyed handsome man
Beautiful daughter couldn't
Make up her mind between
A doctor and a lawyer man
Her mother told her daughter
Go out and find herself
A brown eyed handsome man
Just like your daddy is
A brown eyed handsome man
Milo of Venus was a beautiful lass
She had the world
In the palm of her hand
She lost both her arms
In a wrestling match to get
A brown eyed handsome man
She fought and won herself
A brown eyed handsome man
Two, three in the count
With nobody on
He hit a fly high into the stand
'Round the third he was headed for home
It was a brown eyed handsome man
That won the game
It was a brown eyed handsome man
