Tabbed from the recording from the American Folk Anthology (disc 2) [Chorus:]
GThose brown eyes I loved so Dwell. GThose brown eyes I long to Dsee. DHow I long for those brown Aeyes. Strangers they have grown to Dbe.
DJust a year ago Atoday, when my brown eyes went Daway DUp in heaven I long to Abe, where a brown-eyed angel waits for Dme
[Chorus]
DLast night I passed her on the Astreet, I bowed my head 'cause I could not Dspeak DAnother man was at her Aside, soon I thought she'd be his Dbride.
[Chorus] Other versions of the song have slightly different lyrics, as stated below.
DOne evening when the sun was Alow my brown eyes whispered, "I Dmust go." DNot one second would she Await. She kissed my cheek and left my Dgate.
[Chorus:]
GThose brown eyes I loved so Dwell. GThose brown eyes I long to Dsee. DHow I long for those brown Aeyes. Strangers they have grown to Dbe.
DOne night I met her on the Astreet. I tipped my hat but I could not Dspeak. DAnother man was by her Aside. Soon I thought she'd be his Dbride.
[Chorus]
D'Twas just a year ago Atoday, they laid my own brown eyes Daway. DSix long years for me she Acried. It was her brother by her Dside.
[Chorus]
