On The Road To Mandalay

On The Road To Mandalay - Frank Sinatra (法蘭克·辛納屈)

Written by：Rudyard Kipling/Oley Speaks

By the old Moulmein Pagoda

Looking eastward to the sea

There's a burma gal a settin'

And I know she thinks of me

For the wind is in those palm trees

And the temple bells they say

Come you back you British soldier

Come you back to Mandalay come you back to Mandalay

Come you back to Mandalay

Where the old flotilla lay

I can here there paddles chonkin'

From rangoon to Mandalay

On the road to Mandalay

Where the flying fishes play

And the dawn comes up like thunder

Out of China across the bay

Ship me somewhere east of Suez

Where the best is like the worst

Where there ain't no ten commandments

And a cat can raise a thirst

Cause those crazy bells calling

And it's there that I would be

By the Pagoda

Looking east at the sea

Looking east at the sea

Come you back to Mandalay

Where the old flotilla lay

I can here there paddles chonkin'

From rangoon to Mandalay

On the road to Mandalay

Where the flying fishes play

And the dawn comes up like thunder
