Lyrics:
First verse
De flow'rs am sleepin', de stars am peepin', De harvest moon shines in de sky; A funny feelin' comes sof'ly stealin' Aroun' ma heart, when yo' are nigh, It's mighty pleasin' to tell de reason Ma heart's a flame when you are near, With love it's burnin' fo' yo' I'se yearnin', So let me whisper in yo' ear:
Chorus
Ma Ebony Belle, you'se shu'ly weavin' Aroun' ma heart love's magic spell, So quit deceivin', an' stop ma grievin', Say you'll be mine, Ma Ebony Belle.
Second verse
Ma Ebony Please come ma lady, de lane am shady, De nightin'gale sings in de tree; I knows a bower among de flowers, Dat's only meant fo' yo' an' me, Like fireflies gleamin' your eyes am beamin', Although yo's actin' kinder shy Ma turtle dovey I knows yo' love me, I see de lovelight in yo' eye:
(Chorus)
