A Brown Eyed Beauty
A Brown Eyed Beauty
The train slowed down and fin'ly stopped
Here in our little town.
A brown eyed beauty smiled and winked
An' stepped down on the ground
She said I heard that Texas men
Can curl a young gal's toes
I come all the way from Kansas
To find me one of those
Well we was all flabbergasted
A lady talkin' such
There ain't no Romeos in town
In fact there just ain't much
The saucy gal said, "Where's your mayor?
Seems like the place to start."
So up the street we tagged along
To see our mayor, Bart
Now Bart had been around the block
Way back when he was young
Maybe he could tell this gal
The songs have all been sung
Well, in she went to have her say
An' then the sun went down
So we all drifted on back home
It's dark in our small town
Next mornin' we all gathered round
To watch her catch the train
But there she was on Bart's front porch
Singin' some old refrain
She said, "Howdy boys, lovely morn!
Ol' Bart's just sleepin' late.
If you'd bring up my clothes and things
I'd sure appreciate."
Well, we was stunned to say the least
As we brung up her clothes.
Who'd have thought it'd be ol' Bart
To curl them Kansas toes
Now that's been ten years more or less
Ol' Bart has kept his seat
An' when we talk about his wife
We don't mention her feet.
