SPARKLING BROWN EYES
Recorded by Webb Pierce (with The Wilburn Brothers)
Words and music by Billy Cox
[G] There's a ramshackle shack, (There's a ramshackle shack/-ack)
[In old Caro-[C] line]
It's callin' me [G] back, (It's callin' me back/-ack)
[To the girl of [D] mine]
Those two brown [G] eyes, (Those two brown eyes/eyes)
[I'm longin' to [C] see]
Oh, the girl of my [G] dreams, (Oh, the girl of my dreams/-eams)
[She will [D] always [G] be.]
CHORUS
Those two brown eyes, (Those two brown eyes/eyes)
[That sparkle with [C] love]
Came down to [G] me, (Came down to me/-ee)
[From heaven a-[D] bove]
If I could [G] fly, (If I could fly/-y)
[Like a beautiful [C] dove]
I'd fly to the [G] arms, (I'd fly to the arms/arms)
[Of the [D] one that I [G] love.]
When it's harvest time - down in old Caroline
I'll be driftin' back - to that gal of mine
I'll spend my days - with the girl that I love
With the help of One - up in heaven above.
When the whippoorwills called - on the hills far away
We'd sing love songs - and she would say
"My love for you - will never die."
We bid farewell - and I said good-bye.
