Ebony Woman

Beautiful woman is an ebony woman Dark satin hue, and soul made of blues Her charm and her grace is so ebony smooth And miss Cleopatra, she wished she could match her To her eye-velish smile, those satin doll eyes And a lamb's woolly hair that makes her ebony true She moans loud "Lord have mercy" When she is tired and blue How can she be gay in may Money and bright fancy clothes Could never sought the cares of O's Oh, ebony woman, woman, woman Ebony woman, woman, woman Fertile as rich black soil, and freshening as oil In this crazy mixed up world She's just a jewel, sometimes called pearl Oh, but nevertheless, she's an ebony woman Woman, woman, woman She's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Black lady, lady, lady, lady Oh, black is beautiful and there's so much soulin' And talk in that woma Oh, I love my woman, I love her
