Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
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
