De flow'rs am sleepin'
de stars am peepin'
de harvest moon shines in de sky;
A funny feelin' comes softly stealin'
aroun' ma heart
when yo' are nigh,
it's mighty pleasin' to tell da reason
ma heart's aflame when you are near,
with love it's burnin'
fo' yo' I'se yearnin'
so let me whisper in yo' ear.

Ma Ebony Belle
you're 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.

Ma Ebony Belle
you're 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.

Please come ma lady.
De laze 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' yo' eyes are beamin'
although yo's actin' kind er shy,
ma turtle dovey
I knows yo' love me,
I see de lovelight in yo' eyes:

Ma Ebony Belle
you're 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.

Ma Ebony Belle
you're 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.
