Brown Eyed Handsome Man - Lyrics - Waylon Jennings
Waylon Arnold Jennings was an American singer, songwriter, musician and actor. Jennings began playing guitar at 8 and began performing at 12 on KVOW radio. His first band was The Texas Longhorns. Jennings worked as a D.J. on KVOW, KDAV, KYTI, and KLLL. In 1958, Buddy Holly arranged Jennings's first recording session, of âJole Blonâ and âWhen Sin Stops .â Holly hired him to play bass. In Clear Lake, Iowa, Jennings gave up his seat on the ill-fated flight that killed Holly and others to J. P. Richardson, who was suffering from a cold. The day of the flight was later known as The Day the Music Died. Jennings then worked as a D.J. in Coolidge, Arizona, and Phoenix. He formed a rockabilly club band, The Waylors. He recorded for independent label Trend Records and A&M Records, before succeeding with RCA Victor after achieving creative control.

Flyin' cross the desert in a TWA
I saw a woman walkin' cross the sand
She'd been a walkin' thirty miles on route to LA
To get a brown eyed handsome man.
Her 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 wrestlin' match
To get a brown eyed handsome man.
She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man.
Way back in hist'ry thee thousand years in fact
Ever since the world began
Been a whole lot of women who sheddin' tears
For a brown eyed handsome man.
It was the trouble was a brown eyed handsome man.
Beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind
Between a doctor and a lawyer man
Her mama told her darlin' go out and find
Yourself a brown eyed handsome man.
Just like your daddy is a brown eyed handsome man.
Arrested on charges of unemployment
Sittin' in the witness stand
The Judge's wife called up the district attorney
She said free that brown eyed handsome man.
If you want your job you better free that brown eyed man.
Way back in hist'ry thee thousand years in fact
Ever since the world began
Been a whole lot of women who sheddin' tears
For a brown eyed handsome man.
It was the trouble was a brown eyed handsome man...
