tommy makem - the coast of malabar lyrics
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 anch-r-d, 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?’
chorus
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
sh-r-
and to that dark eyed girl who loved me, but i’ll see her
never more
chorus
