Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings - Brown Eyed Handsome Man

Flying cross the desert in a TWA
Saw a women walking
Cross the sand
They been walking thirty miles
In route to L.A. to get
A brown eyed handsome man
The destination was
A brown eyed handsome man

Milo Venus was a beautiful lass
She had the world
In the palm of her hand
But she lost both her arms
In a wrestling match to get
A brown eyed handsome man
She fought and won herself
A brown eyed handsome man

Way back in history
Three thousand years
Back ever since the world began
Been a whole lot a good women
Shedding tears for
A brown eyed handsome man
That's what the trouble was
A brown eyed handsome man

Beautiful daughter couldn't
Make up her mind between
A doctor and a lawyer man
Mamma told her daughter
Go out and find herself
A brown eyed handsome man
Just like your daddy is
A brown eyed handsome man

Arrested on charges
Of unemployment
He was sitting in the witness stand
The judges wife called up
The district attorney said you better
Free that brown eyed man
If you want your job you'd better
Free that brown eyed man

Way back in history
Three thousand years
Back when ever since the world began
Got a whole lotta good woman
Shedding tears for
A brown eyed handsome man
That's what the trouble was
A brown eyed handsome man
