Miss Brown
Peter Cincotti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who do you think is comin' to town?
You'll never guess who?
The lovable, hugable Emily Brown
She's Miss Brown to you

What if the rain comes pattering down?
My heaven is blue
Tennessee sending me Emily Brown
She's Miss Brown to you

I know
I know her eyes will thrill ya
But go slow
Don't you all get too familiar

Why do you think she's comin' to town?
You just wait and you'll see
The lovable, hugable little Miss Brown
She is baby to me

I know
I know her eyes will thrill ya
But go slow, just take it slow
Don't you all get too familiar

Why do you think she's comin' to town?
Just wait and you'll see
The lovable, hugable little Miss Brown
She is baby to me




She is baby to me
Yeah, she is baby to me
