One evening when the sun was low
My brown eyes whispered I must go
Not one second would she wait
She kissed my cheek and left my gate

Those brown eyes I loved so well
Those brown eyes I long to see
How I long for those brown eyes
Strangers they have grown to be.

One night I met her on the street
I tipped my hat but I could not speak
Another man was by her side
Soon I thought she'd be his bride

'Twas just a year ago today
They laid my own brown eyes away
Six long years for me she cried
It was her brother by her side
