Lyrics

Hey, where did we go

Days when the rains came?

Down in the hollow

Playing a new game


Laughing and a-running, hey, hey

Skipping and a-jumping

In the misty morning fog with

Our, our hearts a-thumping

And you, my brown-eyed girl

You, my brown-eyed girl

Whatever happened

To Tuesday and so slow

Going down the old mine with a

Transistor radio


Standing in the sunlight laughing

Hide behind a rainbow's wall

Slipping and a-sliding

All along the waterfall

With you, my brown-eyed girl

You, my brown-eyed girl


Do you remember when we used to sing

Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah

Just like that

Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah

La dee dah


So hard to find my way

Now that I'm all on my own

I saw you just the other day

My, how you have grown!

Cast my memory back there, Lord

Sometime I'm overcome thinking about

Making love in the green grass

Behind the stadium

With you, my brown-eyed girl

You, my brown-eyed girl


Do you remember when we used to sing

Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah

Laying in the green grass

Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah

Dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee

Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la

Dee dah la dee dah la dee dah la

D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d
