Sparkling Brown Eyes - Lyrics - George Jones
George Glenn Jones was an American musician, singer and songwriter who achieved international fame for his long list of hit records, including "White Lightning", as well as his distinctive voice and phrasing. For the last 20 years of his life, Jones was frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer. Country music scholar Bill C. Malone writes, "For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved." Waylon Jennings expressed a similar opinion in his song "It's Alright": "If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones." The shape of his nose and facial features earned Jones the nickname "The Possum."

There's a rambleshackle shack
Down in old Caroline
It keeps a callin' me back
To that gal of mine.
Yeah, If I had the wings
Of a beautiful dove
Yes, you know I'd fly away
To the gal that I love.
Those two brown eyes
That sparkle with love
Shines down to me
From Heaven above.
Well, If I had the wings
Of a beautiful dove
Yes, you know I'd fly away
To the gal that I love.

When the whippoorwills call
On the hill far away
We'll, you could sing a love song
It's gonna help me to say.
My love for you
Ain't gonna never, never die.
Yes, I'd rather sing a song
Everyday that I die.
There's a rambleshackle shack
Down in old Caroline
It keeps a callin' me back
To that gal of mine.
Yeah, If I had the wings
Of a beautiful dove
Yes, you know I'd fly away
To the gal I love.
There's a rambleshackle shack
Down in old Caroline
It keeps a callin' me back
To that gal of mine.
Yes, If I had the wings
Of a beautiful dove
Yeah, I'd fly away
To the gal that I love..
