[E]
Oh, Racy Dolan, George's lover, on the informant, he was sitting in the fish stand.
He heard that wine [A] was a little stricter than [B] that mountain [E] I had,
he jumped at him, that mountain I had.
Flying across the desert in a PWA, I saw a woman walk across the sand.
She'd been walking thirty [A] miles, he knew too far,
he [B] knew too far, and I [E] had a plan,
the nation was round, I had a plan.
Way back in the history books,
back in the history books,
there's a whole lot of good [A] women,
she [B] never walked a brown [E]-eyed man,
he met a lot of trouble with a brown-eyed man.

[E] Well, the beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind
between a doctor and a lawyer man.
Her mother told her, darling, [A] go out, buy [B] yourself a brown-eyed man,
[E] so the man turned from a daddy to a brown-eyed man.
Well, the Marlowe's woman was a beautiful lass,
she had the world in the palm of her hand.
She lost her heart [A] in a recent [B] match,
so met a brown [E]-eyed man,
a man from Montana, a brown-eyed man.
Well, he married two, three, to count,
in the bar, the only kid I could find,
he was a stand-in.
Well, the [A] birdie was a hooker,
the [E] homie was a brown-eyed man,
the man who got the gig was a brown-eyed man.
