Lyrics
Bye, bye brown eyes,
I’m packing my bags and blowin’,
Kicks and sunshine I’m looking to get my share,
Kids around me are living it up just great,
Life on a silver plate, so why should I care!

Bye, bye brown eyes,
I’m going to take what’s goin’,
Don’t cry, brown eyes, I just gotta do what’s right,
Time’s a-wastin’ and I got no time to lose,
Wearin’ my trav-lin’ shoes, and trav’lin’ light!

You said if we broke up,
I’d sit and I’d sing the blues for you,
It’s time you woke up,
‘Cause, brown eyes, I’ve got news for you,
This time, baby, I’m not gonna come back running,
Don’t try stoppin’ me like in the days gone by,
All your sweet talkin’ save for the bees and birds*,
These are my final words, brown eyes, bye bye.

*alternate lyric: other birds
