- LYRICS:
Arrested on charges of unemployment
He was sitting in the witness stand
The judge's wife called up the District Attorney
Said, "Free that brown eyed man.
You want your job you'd better free that brown eyed man."
Flying across the desert in a TWA
I saw a woman walking across the sand
She'd been walking thirty miles en route to Bombay
To reach a brown eyed handsome man
Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man
Way back in history ten thousand years
Ever since the world began
There's been a whole lotta good women shedding tears
For a brown eyed handsome man
A lot of trouble was a brown eyed handsome man
The beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind
Between a doctor and a lawyer man
Her mother told her, "Darling go out and find
Yourself a brown eyed handsome man
Like your daddy is a brown eyed handsome man."
The Venus de Milo was a lovely lass
She had the world in the palm of her hand
But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match
To win a brown eyed handsome man
She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man
Well two three the count with nobody on
He hit a high flyer into the stand
And rounding third he was headed for home
It was a brown eyed handsome man
That won the game a brown eyed handsome man
Arrested on charges of unemployment
He was sitting in the witness stand
The judge's wife called up the District Attorney
Said, "Free that brown eyed man.
You want your job you'd better free that brown eyed man.
A brown eyed handsome man. That brown eyed handsome man."

Great song choice and version, I love Chuck Berry 👍
Thank you, Jean-Phi! I'm glad you like this! 😎👍
1969. Seventeen years old. Bought tickets to attend Steve Miller Band live in Alexandria, Virginia. Last minute unannounced substitution: Chuck Berry extended solo in an exceedingly intimate venue, audience all seated on the floor in-close. Well worth seeing. Still mad to this day that Steve Miller bailed. Went home and listened to Julliard-recorded Bartók string quartets on vinyl. Perfect revenge.
Yes, it must be very disappointing if you have bought tickets for such an event, and the artist or band don't show. The nearest I have come to that experience is when I went to see Fleetwood Mac at Manchester, England, in 1990. The Mac did indeed play, and they were great, but supporting act Jethro Tull bailed, for some reason. Hall & Oates supported the Mac instead, and I was happy with that. Thanks for the visit, and comment! Hope you have a good weekend! 😎👍
@@roberthaigh3206 Aqualung my friend, don’t you start away uneasy
You poor old sod, you see, it’s only me

Great performance Robert ! 👏🏼👏🏼😊
Thank you so much Jane! Glad you like this! 😎👍
That sounds fantastic! Congrats my dear friend Robert for your convincing and beautiful performance of a nice song I never heard before! Happy week, see you soon again, stay safe! 🙏🙏😊
Thank you so much, Krystele! I greatly appreciate your comment! Best wishes! 😎👍
What a beautiful download, I loved and enjoyed the performance! It's very beautiful again. Thumbs up Robert ! LyDia ♫♪♫
Thank you so much, Lydia! I'm pleased you like this! 😎👍
Enjoyed this Robert, loved the song for decades and it's probably the first time I have heard the lyrics clearly as Buddy's version is pretty fast tempo😊😊👍👍Very best wishes, Neville
Thank you, Neville! I agree about what you say concerning Buddy's version -- hard to hear some of the words, but I've always loved it. Glad you like my cover! Best wishes from West Yorkshire, England! 😊👍
Wow Robert, I'd forgot all about this great song. You did a superb job and I love the rhythm strumming on the guitar. Great job!
Thank you, Mike! I always loved the Buddy Holly version, even though it's fast and furious! A few years ago I heard a slow live version by Lyle Lovett, and thought I'd try a similar approach. My version turned out to be a bit faster than Lyle's but it suited how I wanted to do it. I'm glad you like my cover, my friend! 😊👍
Hi, wonderful cover! Like.
Thank you, Enzo! Glad you like this! 😊👍
Great performance! You are really good! I enjoyed listening to this song! Great tune!👍👍
Bright guitar sound is cool and nice voice
Thank you! I appreciate your comment! 😎👍
Hi, dear Robert 😀. I enjoyed your fantastic sounding performance very much 🥰👌👏. Thumb up is understood 👍. Have a blessed weekend, my dear good friend 🕊🫂💖🙋♂.
Thank you so much, Thomas! I'm glad you like! Wishing you a wonderful weekend too! 😊👍
Oh indeedy deedy, Robert. Loved being with you on this wonderful trip down memory lane, my friend. You rocked the song. Took me back to the old 'chord runs' we all used back in the day. lol 😊 Much enjoyed.
Thank you very much, Robin! Glad you can relate to this song, and the era it evokes! I class myself as a folk singer, but I have an eclectic style, and I'll tackle almost any song if I really like it! Cheers! 😊👍
@@roberthaigh3206 Eclectic's good, my friend, and you are excellent at delivering it.
@@robinrendellwordman8182 I guess we are all eclectic performers, Robin -- even if we write our own material. Influences are there in our heads, even if we are not conscious of them most of the time. Even with those influences we can still produce something new, and hopefully interesting! Happy writing and recording, my friend!
Great song Robert! I haven't heard it before...it is great!
Thank you very much, Joe! Glad you like this! 😎👍
Robert, my musical education continues via your channel. I’ve not heard this song before - loving the lyrics- great performance and strumming - I will appreciate the brown eyed handsome man I have in my life after this 😀To be honest, had you not said it was a Chuck Berry song I would have believed it was one of yours because of the similarity in storytelling. that your songs possess.
Thank you for the comment, Harriet! I appreciate what you say here! Glad you like my cover of this song! 😊👍
I enjoyed your performance Robert 👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much, Bruce! 😊👍
I love this song instantly tho I never heard it b4! Really admire your guitar play-it’s excellent! Thank you for sharing! Have a wonderful weekend Robert!
Thank you very much, Clara! I appreciate your comment! Wishing you a wonderful weekend too! 😊👍
Personally Robert, I think too many RUclips covers try to replicate the way the artist originally recorded the song. I don't worry at all about the the particular way an artist originally recorded it but only the way I feel it. Make it your own song and I know you agree.
Yes, Mike, I certainly do agree that we should cover songs in our own way, otherwise (in my opinion) it becomes little more than karaoke. Best wishes -- have a happy weekend!
Great job Robert! This is not an easy song to cover but you did a fantastic job.
Thank you, Jeff! I slowed it down a little bit -- not for the guitar playing, but because of all the words! I don't know how Buddy Holly managed to sing them all! Glad you like my version! 😎👍
Thank you for sharing your precious video 🎶 beautiful guitar performance and song 🎵 ❤🎉 like a wonderful teacher❤️

This song was written by Chuck Berry, and was released as the B-side of "Too Much Monkey Business" in 1956. It has been covered by many artists, and Buddy Holly's version was a huge hit in the UK, reaching #3 in the singles chart. Buddy's version is still my personal favourite.
Fantastic reflection of life in America in the 50s . Luv it Robert .. 😎😎😎
Thank you, Peter! I've always loved the Buddy Holly version. I slowed it down slightly, but it's still quite lively. Glad you like! 😊👍
This is fantastic, Robert. I love the tempo and rhythm 😊

Thank you, Bruce! Glad you like this! 😎👍
Great tune 😊
Never heard it but like the poetry ✨️
The Martin sounds fantastic. Is it a mahogany top? I've been searching for an acoustic that responds to a lighter fingerstyle.
Thank you for the comment! Glad you like my video! Yes, my Martin is an all-mahogany solid-bodied 000-15M Streetmaster model. Nice and light in weight, with good action and balanced tones. I'm very pleased with it.
LIKE BEAUTIFUL SONG AND PERFORMANCE!! :))
