Chuck Berry – The Man and the Donkey

Oh, arrested on charges of unemployment
He was sitting in the witness stand
The judges wife called up the district attorney
She said, “Free that brown-eyed man.
If you want your job, you better free that brown-eyed man.”

Flying across the desert in a TWA,
I saw a woman walkin’ ‘cross 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, 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.”

Marlo 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.

2-3 the count with nobody on
He hit a high fly into the stands
Roundin’ third, he was a-headin’ for home
It was a brown-eyed handsome man that won the game
It was a brown-eyed handsome man.
