: One summer evening drunk to hell, I sat there nearly lifeless

: An old man in the corner sang, where the waterlilies grow

: And on the jukebox Johnny sang, about a thing called love

and it’s how are you kid and whats your name, and how would you bloody know

In blood and death ’neath a screaming sky, I lay down on the ground

And the arms and legs of other men, were scattered all around

Some cursed some prayed, some prayed then cursed, then prayed and bled some more

And the only thing that. I could see, Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me

But when we got back labelled parts one to three, There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me,

And a rovin‘ a rovin‘ a rovin‘ I’ll go, For a pair of brown eyes

: I looked at him, he looked at me, all I could do was hate him

: While Ray and Philomena sang, Of my elusive dreams

: I saw the streams, the rolling hills, Where his brown eyes were waiting

And I thought about a pair of brown eyes, That waited once for me

: G

: So drunk to hell I left the place, Sometimes crawling, sometimes walking

: A hungry sound came across the breeze, So I gave the walls a talking

: And I heard the sounds of long ago, From the old canal

And the birds were whistling in the trees, Where the wind was gently laughing

3 x

And a rovin‘ a rovin‘ a rovin‘ I’ll go. 3x

For a pair of brown eyes, For a pair of brown eyes
