Her skin was like ebony
And her smile so wild and free
Laughing the time away
To the ocean breeze
We ran through the waves
Hand in hand
Against the white glistening sand
In the land of paradise
I see the morning rays
Of the sunrise
And I remember
My sweet ebony girl
We dreamed underneath the starry skies
And she cries with a tear in her eye
When we say goodbye
My sweet ebony girl
In the land of paradise
I see the morning rays
Of the sunrise
And I remember
My sweet ebony girl
I still see her face
My sweet ebony girl
