Ebony Eyes

On a weekend pass

  • On a weekend pass
  • I wouldn't have had time
  • To get home and Marry
  • That baby of mine
  • So I went to the Chaplain
  • And he authorized
  • Me to send for my ebony eyes
  • My ebony eyes
  • Was coming to me
  • From out of the skies
  • On flight twelve o three
  • In an hour or two
  • I would whisper I do
  • To my beautiful ebony eyes
  • The plane was way overdue
  • So I went inside to the airline's desk
  • And I said Sir
  • I wonder why twelve o three is so late
  • He said oh they probably took off late
  • Or they may have run into some turbulent weather and
  • Had to alter the course
  • I went back outside and waited at the gate
  • And I watched the beacon light from the control tower
  • As it whipped through the dark ebony skies if it
  • Were searching for
  • My ebony eyes
  • And then came the announcement over the loudspeaker
  • Would those having relatives or friends on flight number
  • Twelve o three
  • 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
  • She'll smile at me and I know she will be
  • My beautiful ebony eyes
