Speaking of lyrics to songs...

One of the more universal singing calls callers do is "Beautiful Brown Eyes." Doesn't this song have a sweet sound, like someone had fallen so deeply in love with someone with brown eyes that they'd never go back to someone with blue eyes?

Well, back when I was lyric researching when I was converting all my vinyl to .mp3, I came across the lyrics to the song, made popular in the early 50s by Rosemary Clooney, Kitty Wells, and others.



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

Last night I staggered in the bar room
Fell right down on the floor
These were the words that I uttered
I'll never get drunk anymore.

Oh Willie oh Willie I love you
Love you with all of my heart
Tomorrow we were to be married
But liquor has kept us apart.

For seven long years I've been married
Wish I was single again
A girl doesn't know half her troubles
Until she has married a man"


Interesting...huh?
