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
Gently Jack Jones, won't you come to me"
ย
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
1920 When he stepped to the bar
They drank to the dregs of the whiskey jars
1930 When the wall caved in
And the police were sellin' that red eyed gin
ย
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
Delilah Jones was the mother of twins
Two times over and the rest were sins
Raised eight boys, only I survived
I didn't get the lickin's 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 pourin' down
And it looks like the old man's gettin' on
Tumbled out shack in Big Foot county
It snowed so hard that the roof caved in
Delilah Jones went to meet her God
And the old man never was the same againDaddy
Made a whiskey and he made it well
Cost two dollars and it burned like hell
How could he grant such a fireless zeal
Drink down the bottle and be ready to kill
ย
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
ย
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
