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
