Average song rating The creative addition of the accordion (at least, that's what it sounds like) pushes this production through the roof. This may well be the single greatest cover song of Paul McCartney's career. Bruce Beatlefan January 29, 2008

Lyrics

Well, flying across the desert in a TWA, I saw a woman walking in the sand.
She'd be walking 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 lotta good women shedding tears over a brown eyed handsome man,
A lot of trouble was a brown eyed handsome man.

Well, the Milo de Venus was a beautiful lass, she had the world in the palm of her hand
She lost both her arms in a wrestling match to win a brown eyed handsome man,
She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man.

Well, a beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind between a doctor and a lawyer man.
Her mother told her daughter go out and find yourself a brown eyed handsome man,
Just like your daddy was, a brown eyed handsome man.

Well, a two, three the count with nobody home he hit a high flyer into the stand.
A rounded third he was a-heading for home,
It was a brown eyed handsome man that won the game, It was a brown eyed handsome man.
It was a brown eyed handsome man.
