Track 9 of 12 on the album "Keep on the Sunny Side" (1964) [Intro] G D7 G [Verse 1]
    G                        D7
One evening when the sun was low

                                 G
My brown eyes whispered, "I must go"

                        D7
Not one moment would he wait

                                G    G7
He kissed my cheek and left the gate
[Chorus]
C                          G    G7
Those brown eyes I love so well

C                          G
Those brown eyes I long to see, oh-lay-ooh

                           D7
Now I sigh for those brown eyes

                                    G
Since strangers, they have grown to be
[Verse 2]
    G                     D7
One day, I met him on the street

                              G
I bowed my head but could not speak

                        D7
Another girl was by his side

                                 G     G7
I thought that soon she'd be his bride
[Chorus]
C                          G    G7
Those brown eyes I love so well

C                          G
Those brown eyes I long to see, oh-lay-ooh

                           D7
Now I sigh for those brown eyes

                                    G
Since strangers, they have grown to be
[Interlude] G D7 G D7 G [Verse 3]
G                   D7
Just one year ago today

                             G
They laid my own brown eyes away

                             D7
Up in heaven, when I long to be

                              G  G7
My brown eyed angel waits for me
[Chorus]
C                          G    G7
Those brown eyes I love so well

C                          G
Those brown eyes I long to see, oh-lay-ooh

                           D7
Now I sigh for those brown eyes

                                    G
Since strangers, they have grown to be
