Brown eyed women and red grenadine

the bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean

Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down

and it looks like the old man's getting on



In 1920 when he stepped to the bar

he drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar

In 1930 when the Wall caved in

he paid his way selling red eye gin



Brown eyed women and red grenadine

the bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean

Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down

and it looks like the old man's getting on



Delilah Jones was the mother of twins

two times over and the rest was sins

Raised eight boys, only I turned bad

Didn't get the lickings that the other ones had



Brown eyed women and red grenadine

the bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean

Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down

and it looks like the old man's getting on



Tumble down shack in Bigfoot 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



Brown eyed women and red grenadine

the bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean

Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down

and it looks like the old man's getting on



Daddy made whiskey and he made it well

Cost two dollars and it burned like hell

I cut hick'ry to fire the still

Drink down a bottle and you're ready to kill



Brown eyed women and red grenadine

the bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean

Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down

and it looks like the old man's getting on
