Coast of Malabar

Far away across the ocean. Beneath an indian star
Lives a little dark eyed maiden On the coast of Malabar
In the harbour where we anchored I could see her shy and sweet
With a blossom on her bosom And the wild waves at her feet
I can see the crowded city. The palm trees green and tall
And the starry night she danced with me Inside those city wall
She gave a little wistful glance. As she looked across the bay
And she whispered if you love me, why do you sail away
I must go my little dark eyes. I must go my indian star
But I'll come again and love you. On the coast of Malabar
In my dreams I oft-times wander to that far off Indian sea
And the days we spent togheter. They come back again to me
I can see the crowded city, the palm trees on the shore
But that little dark-eyed maiden, she's there no more no more
Fare thee well my little dark eyes. Fare thee well my indian star
In my dreams I will live forever on the Coast of Malabar
