One evening when the sun was low my brown eyes
whispered, "I must go." Not one second
would she wait. She kissed my cheek and left my
gate.

[ Chorus: ]
Those brown eyes I loved so well. Those brown eyes
I long to see. How I long for those brown eyes.
Strangers they have grown to be.

One night I met her on the street. I tipped my hat
but I could not speak. Another man was by her
side. Soon I thought she'd be his bride.

[ Chorus ]

'Twas just a year ago today, they laid my own
brown eyes away. Six long years for me she cried.
It was her brother by her side.

[ Chorus ]
