-- On a weekend pass I wouldn't have had time

B7

To get home and marry that baby of mine

E E7 A

So I went to the chaplain and he authorized

E B7 E E7

Me to send for my ebony eyes

A E

My ebony eyes was coming to me

A E B7

From out of the skies on flight twelve - o - three

E E7 A

In an hour or two I would whisper "I do"

E B7 E

To my beautiful ebony eyes

-- spoken --

The plane was way overdue so I went inside to the airlines

desk and I said "Sir, I wonder why 1203 is so late." He said

"Oh, they probably took off late or they may have run into

some turbulent weather and had to alter their course."

I went back outside and I waited at the gate and I watched the

beacon light from the control tower as it whipped through the

dark ebony skies as if it were searching for

B7 E

my eb -on - y eyes.

Then came the announcement over the loudspeaker "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

B7

And I knew the heavenly ebony skies

E A

Had taken my life's most wonderful prize

E B7 E E7

My beautiful ebony eyes

A E

If I ever get to heaven I'll bet

A E

The first angel I'll recognize

A E

She'll smile at me and I know she will be

B7 E

My beautiful ebony eyes
