Me to send for my ebony eyes
My ebony eyes was coming to me
From out of the skies on flight twelve - o - three

Would those having relatives or friends on flight number 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 prize
My beautiful ebony eyes

If I ever get to heaven I'll bet
The first angel I'll recognize
Shell smile at me and I know she will be
My beautiful ebony eyes
