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

So I went back outside and I waited at the gate
And I watched the beacon light from the control tower

(The ebony eyes)

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
