The red-headed stranger had eyes like the thunder, And his lips, they were sad and tight. His little lost love lay asleep on the hillside, And his heart was heavy as night ---

Gone are the days when the ox fall down 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?” 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 ---

The fawn-eyed girl with sun-browned legs Dances on the edge of his dream And her voice rings in his ears Like the music of the spheres The boy lies in the grass, unmoving Staring at the sky His mother starts to call him As a hawk goes soaring by The boy pulls down his baseball cap And covers up his eyes ---
