Lyrics

[Verse 1] Gone are the days when the ox fall down You take up the yoke and plow the fields around Gone are the days when the ladies said "Please Gentle Jack Jones, won't you cometome" [Chorus] Brown-eyedwomen and redgrenadine The bottle wasdusty, but the liquor was clean Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down And it looks like the old man's gettin' on [Verse 2] 1920 when he steppеd to the bar He drank to the drеgs of the whiskey jar 1930 when the wall caved in He made his way selling red-eyed gin [Chorus] 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 [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Delilah Jones was the mother of twins Two times over, and the rest were sins Raised eight boys, only I turned bad Didn't get the lickin's that the other ones had [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Tumble down shack in Big Foot 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 [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] Daddy made whiskey and he made it well Cost two dollars and it burned like hell I cut hickory just to fire the still Drink down a bottle and be ready to kill [Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] Gone are the days when the ox fall down You 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?" Yeah [Chorus] 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 [Outro] And it looks like the old man's gettin' on
