Lyrics:

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 together.
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
