Nina Simone - Brown Eyed Handsome Man lyrics

[Nina Simone - Brown Eyed Handsome Man lyrics]

Arrested on charges of unemployment
He was sitting in the witness stand
The judge's wife called up
The district attorney
Said you free that brown eyed man
If 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 meet a brown eyed handsome man
Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man

Way back in history three thousand years
In fact ever since the world began
There's been a whole lot of
Good women sheddin' tears
Over a brown eyed handsome man
There's a lot of trouble with
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 "darling
Go out and find
Yourself a brown eyed handsome man
Just like your daddy
He's a brown eyed handsome man"

Milo 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 meet a brown eyed handsome man
She fought and won herself a
Brown eyed handsome man

Two, three count with nobody on
He hit a high fly into the stand
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
That won the game it was
A brown eyed handsome man
