“Brown Eyed Girl“
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

This is the most well-known of Van Morrison’s songs although he said to Time magazine in 2009, “’Brown Eyed Girl’ I didn’t perform for a long time because for me it was like a throw-away song. I’ve got about 300 other songs I think are better than that.“
This song became a hippy anthem because it tells of young love and sexual freedom and, it was released in June of 1967 during the time of the “Summer of Love“. Van Morrison was not a hippy and had no intention his song would be associated with the hippy movement.
Some radio stations banned this track because of the line “Making love in the green grass“.
The song was featured in the 1991 film “Sleeping with the Enemy“.
