Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

One summer evening drunk to hell
I sat there nearly lifeless
An old man in the corner sang
"Where the Waterlilies Grow"
And on the jukebox Johnny sang
About a thing called love
And it's how are you, kid
And what's your name
And how would you bloody know

In blood and death
'Neath a screaming sky
I lay down on the ground
The arms and legs
Of other men
Were scattered all around
Some cursed some prayed
Some prayed, then cursed
Then prayed and bled some more

And the only thing
That I could see
Was a pair of brown eyes
That was looking at me
But when we got back
Labelled parts one to three
There was no pair of brown eyes
Waiting there for me

And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
For a pair of brown eyes

One summer evening drunk to hell
I sat there nearly lifeless
An old man in the corner sang
"Where the Waterlilies Grow"
And on the jukebox Johnny sang
About a thing called love
And it's how are you, kid
And what's your name
And how would you bloody know

And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
A rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
For a pair of brown eyes
For a pair of brown eyes

And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
A rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
For a pair of brown eyes
For a pair of brown eyes

And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
A rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
For a pair of brown eyes
For a pair of brown eyes
