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.
