Tabbed from the recording from the American Folk Anthology (disc 2) [Chorus:]
FThose brown eyes I loved so Cwell. FThose brown eyes I long to Csee. CHow I long for those brown Geyes. Strangers they have grown to Cbe.
CJust a year ago Gtoday, when my brown eyes went Caway CUp in heaven I long to Gbe, where a brown-eyed angel waits for Cme
[Chorus]
CLast night I passed her on the Gstreet, I bowed my head 'cause I could not Cspeak CAnother man was at her Gside, soon I thought she'd be his Cbride.
[Chorus] Other versions of the song have slightly different lyrics, as stated below.
COne evening when the sun was Glow my brown eyes whispered, "I Cmust go." CNot one second would she Gwait. She kissed my cheek and left my Cgate.
[Chorus:]
FThose brown eyes I loved so Cwell. FThose brown eyes I long to Csee. CHow I long for those brown Geyes. Strangers they have grown to Cbe.
COne night I met her on the Gstreet. I tipped my hat but I could not Cspeak. CAnother man was by her Gside. Soon I thought she'd be his Cbride.
[Chorus]
C'Twas just a year ago Gtoday, they laid my own brown eyes Caway. CSix long years for me she Gcried. It was her brother by her Cside.
[Chorus]
