Coast Of Malabar Lyrics - The Long Black Veil - The Chieftains

Far away across the ocean 

Underneath an Indian star 

Dwells a dark eyed lonely maiden 

On the coast of Malabar 

In the harbor, where we anchored 

I can see her shy and sweet 

With a bunch of wine-red roses 

And the wild waves at her feet 

Oh 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 

"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 the dark eyed girl who loved me 

But I'll see her never more 

Oh 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
