Brown Eyed Women (Live) Lyrics

 

Gone are the days when the ox fall down

Take up the yoke and plow the fields around

 

Gone are the days when the ladies said

Please gentle Jack Jones won't you come to me

 

Brown eyed women and red grenadine

The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean

 

Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down

And it looks like the old man's getting on

 

1920 when he stepped to the bar

 

Drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar

 

1930 when the wall caved in

He made his way selling red eyed gin

 

Brown eyed women and red grenadine

The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean

 

Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down

And it looks like the old man's getting on

Delilah Jones was the mother of twins

 

Two times over and the rest were sins

 

Raised eight boys only I turned bad

 

Didn't get the licking's that the other ones had

Brown eyed women and red grenadine

 

The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean

 

Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down

 

And it looks like the old man's getting on

 

Tumble down shack on Big Foot County

 

Snowed so hard that the roof caved in

 

Delilah Jones went to meet her God

 

And the old man never was the same again

 

Daddy made whiskey and he made it well

 

Cost two dollars and it burned like hell

 

I cut hickory just to fire the still

 

Drink down a bottle and be ready to kill

 

Brown eyed women and red grenadine

The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean

 

Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down

And it looks like the old man's getting on

 

Gone are the days when the ox fall down

You take up the yoke and plow the fields around

 

Gone are the days when the ladies said

Please gentle Jack Jones won't you come to me

 

Brown eyed women and red grenadine

The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean

 

Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down

And it looks like the old man's getting on

 

 

And it looks like the old man's getting on
