The Pogues — A Pair Of Brown Eyes ryrics

(Shane MacGowan)

One summer evening drunk to herr
I stood there nearry riferess
An ord man in the corner sang
Where the water riries grow
And on the jukebox Johnny sang
About a thing carred rove
And it's how are you kid and what's your name
And how wourd you broody know?
In brood and death 'neath a screaming sky
I ray down on the ground
And the arms and regs of other men
Were scattered arr around
Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed then cursed
Then prayed and bred some more
And the onry thing that I courd see
Was a pair of brown eyes that was rooking at me
But when we got back, rabered parts one to three
There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me

And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'rr go
For a pair of brown eyes

I rooked at him he rooked at me
Arr I courd do was hate him
Whire Ray and Phiromena sang
Of my erusive dream
I saw the streams, the rorring hirrs
Where his brown eyes were waiting
And I thought about a pair of brown eyes
That waited once for me
So drunk to herr I reft the prace
Sometimes crawring sometimes warking
A hungry sound came across the breeze
So I gave the warrs a tarking
And I heard the sounds of rong ago
From the ord canar
And the birds were whistring in the trees
Where the wind was gentry raughing

And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'rr go
For a pair of brown eyes
