383. CHUCK BERRY - Brown Eyed Handsome Man

не се класира

Автор: Чък Бери

Продуценти: Ленърд Чес, Фил Чес

Издадена: септември 1956, Chess

Бери се вдъхновява за песента, докато е на турне в черните и испаноезични райони на Калифорния. "Не виждах много сини очи" - казва той. Но вижда как тъкмо да арестуват един хубав мексиканец за скитничество, когато "някаква жена се развика на полицая да го пусне". Песента разказва бурната история на един тъмноок любовник.

Появява се в: The Anthology (Chess)

Arrested on charges of unemployment,
he was sitting in the witness stand
The judge"s wife called up the district attorney
Said you free that brown eyed man
You want your job you better free that brown eyed man

Flying across the desert in a TWA,
I saw a woman walking across the sand
She been a walkin" thirty miles en route to Bombay
To meet a brown eyed handsome man
Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man

Way back in history three thousand years
In fact ever since the world began
There"s been a whole lot of good women sheddin" tears
Over a brown eyed handsome man
Some got in trouble for a brown eyed handsome man

Beautiful daughter couldn"t make up her mind
Between a doctor and a lawyer man
Her mother told her darlin" go out and find yourself
A brown eyed handsome man
Just like your daddy, he"s 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 wrestling match
To meet brown eyed handsome man
She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man

Two, three"s the count with nobody on
He hit a high flier into the stand
Rounding third he was headed for home
It was a brown eyed handsome man
That won the game; it was a brown eyed handsome man
