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)
