Coast Of Malabar Lyrics

Coast Of Malabar

Far away across the ocean, underneath an Indian star

Dwells a dusky little
(dark eyed lovely) maiden on the coast of Malabar

In the harbour, where
we anchored, I can see her shy and sweet

With a bunch of wine-red roses
and the wild waves at her feet



Chorus:

Fare thee well, my
little dark eyed queen fare thee well, my Indian star

In my heart you'll
live forever on the coast of Malabar



Many a happy night I spent
with her, 'neath the palm trees green and tall

Many a happy night I
danced with her down in yonder city hall

She would raise her misty little
face and gaze across the bay

She would whisper "If you love me, why do
you sail away?"



Come to me, I hear her calling across the ocean
wild and far

Come to me again and love me on the coast of Malabar

And my thoughts keep ever turning to that far-off distant shore

And to
that dark eyed girl who loved me, but I'll see her never more
