The song is about his high school sweet heart, Betty Jean. He named his first guitar after her. Also, her house was actually Brown but Jimi knew "Brown House" isn't a very appealing title. He's talking about how when he came back from the war and she was gone. He's being sarcastic when he talks about her sister.
