Lyrics
I'm in love with a brown eyed girl and she's in love with me.
But she's in love with a whiskey jug she likes likker better than me.
Oh bring me back my brown eyed girl, oh bring her back to me.
Oh bring me back my brown eyed girl, she likes likker better than me.
Last night she came to see me, last night she smiled upon me.
Tonight she smiles on a whiskey jug, she likes likker better than me.
Oh bring me back my brown eyed girl, oh bring her back to me.
Oh bring me back my brown eyed girl, she likes likker better than me.
Sometimes I think I'll marry her for I love her dearer than life.
But oh the thought is so hard to bear, a whiskey drinking wife.
Oh bring me back my brown eyed girl, oh bring her back to me.
Oh bring me back my brown eyed girl, she likes likker better than me.
