Brown-Eyed Women (Live at Little Caesars Arena, Detroit, MI, 11/24/17)

[Verse 1]

Gone are the days when the ox fall down

You take up the yoke and plow the fields around

Gone are the days when the ladies said "Please

Gentle Jack Jones, won't you come to me"

[Chorus]

Brown-eyed women and red grenadine

The bottle was dusty, but the liquor was clean

Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down

And it looks like the old man's gettin' on

[Verse 2]

1920 when he steppеd to the bar

He drank to the drеgs of the whiskey jar

1930 when the wall caved in

He made his way selling red-eyed gin

[Chorus]

Brown-eyed women and red grenadine

The bottle was dusty, but the liquor was clean

Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down

And it looks like the old man's gettin' on

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Delilah Jones was the mother of twins

Two times over, and the rest were sins

Raised eight boys, only I turned bad

Didn't get the lickin's that the other ones had

[Chorus]

Brown-eyed women and red grenadine

The bottle was dusty, but the liquor was clean

Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down

And it looks like the old man's gettin' on

[Bridge]

Tumble down shack in Big Foot county

Snowed so hard that the roof caved in

Delilah Jones went to meet her God

And the old man never was the same again

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

Daddy made whiskey and he made it well

Cost two dollars and it burned like hell

I cut hickory just to fire the still

Drink down a bottle and be ready to kill

[Chorus]

Brown-eyed women and red grenadine

The bottle was dusty, but the liquor was clean

Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down

And it looks like the old man's gettin' on

[Verse 1]

Gone are the days when the ox fall down

You take up the yoke and plow the fields around

Gone are the days when the ladies said "Please

Gentle Jack Jones, won't you come to me?"

Yeah

[Chorus]

Brown-eyed women and red grenadine

The bottle was dusty, but the liquor was clean

Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down

And it looks like the old man's gettin' on

[Outro]

And it looks like the old man's gettin' on
