On the weekend pa** I wouldn't have had time To get home and marry that baby of mine So I want to be explain and he authorised me to send for my ebony eyes My ebony eyes was coming to me from out of the skies on Flight 1203 In a hour or two would I whisper I do to my beautiful ebony eyes The plane was way overdue so I went inside that airlines desk And said sir I wonder why 1203 is so late he said oh they probably took off late Or they may have run into some turbinate weather and had altered the course So I went back outside and I waited at the gate And I watched the beacon light from the control tower
As it flipped through the dark of ebony skies as if it were searching for (The ebony eyes) And then come the announcement over the loudspeaker With those having relatives of friends on Flight No 1203 Please report to the chapel across the street at once Then I felt a burning break deep inside and I knew the heavenly ebony skies Had taken my life's most wonderful price my beautiful ebony eyes If I ever get to heaven I'll bet the first angel I'll recognize She'll smile at me and I know she will be my beautiful ebony eyes
