On the Road to Mandalay, sung by Robert Warren

By the old Moul-mein Pa-go-da / loo-kin’ east-war-ards / to the sea /
There’s a Bur-ma girl a-set-tin’ / and I know she thinks of me /
For the wind is in the palm trees / and the tem-ple bells they say /
Come you back / you Bri-tish sol-dier / come you back to Man-da-lay /

Come you / back to Man-da-lay /
Where the old Flo-til-la lay /
Can’t you hear their pad-dles chun-kin’ / from Ran-goon to Man-da-lay? /

On the road to Man-da-la-ay /
Where the fly-in’ fi-shes play /
And the dawn comes up like thun-der / out of Chi-na ‘cro-ost the bay /

Ship me some-wheres east of Suez / where the best is like the worst /
Where there aren’t no Ten Com-mand-ments / and a man can raise a thirst /
For the tem-ple bells are cal-lin’ / and it’s there that I would be /
By the old Moul-mein Pa-go-da / loo-kin’ la-zy at the sea /

Come you back to Man-da-lay /
Where the old Flo-til-la lay /
Can’t you hear their pad-dles chun-kin’ / from Ran-goon to Man-da-lay? /

On the road to Man-da-la-ay /
Where the fly-in’ fi-shes play /
And the dawn comes up like thun-der / out of Chi-na ‘cro-ost the bay!

On the Road to Mandalay.

One dream in my heart / one love to be liv-ing for /
one love to be liv-ing for / this near-ly was mine /

One girl for my dream / one part-ner in pa-ra-dise /
this pro-mise of pa-ra-dise / this near-ly was mine /

Close to my heart she came / on-ly to fly a-way /
on-ly to fly as day / flies from moon-light /

Now / now I’m a-lone / still dream-ing of pa-ra-dise /
still say-ing that pa-ra-dise / once near-ly was mine /

I’ll keep re-mem-ber-ing kis-ses / from lips I’ll ne-e-ver own /
and all the love-ly ad-ven-tures / that we have ne-ver known /

One dream in my heart / one love to be liv-ing for /
one love to be liv-ing for / this near-ly was mine /

Close to my heart she came / on-ly to fly away /
on-ly to fly as day / flies from moon-light /

Now / now I’m a-lone / still drea-ming of pa-ra-dise /
still say-ing that pa-ra-dise / once near-ly was mine!

If I / lov-ed you /

If I lov-ed you /
words would-n’t come / in an ea-sy way /
round in cir-cles / I’d go /

long-ing to tell you / but a-fraid and shy /
I’d let my gol-den chan-ces / pass me by /

Soon you’d leave me /
Off you would go / in the mist of day /
ne-ver / ne-ver to know /
how I lov-ed you / if I lov-ed you!

Ol’ Man River, sung by Jerome Hines
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hzk83CDDRek

There’s an old man / called the Mis-sis-sip-pi /
That’s the old man / that I want to be /
What does he care / if the world’s got trou-bles? /
What does he care / if the land ain’t free? /

Old man ri-ver / that old man ri-ver /
He must know some-thing / but don’t say no-thing /
He just keeps roll-ing / he keeps on roll-ing a-long /

He don’t plant ta-ters / he don’t plant cot-ton /
And them that plants them / is soon for-gotten /
But old man ri-ver / he just keeps roll-ing a-long /

You and me / we sweat and strain /
body all ach-ing / and wracked with pain /
Tote that barge! / Lift that bale! /
Get a lit-tle drunk / and you land in jai-ail /

I gets wea-ry / and sick of try-ing /
I’m tired of liv-ing / and scared of dy-ing /
But old man ri-ver / he just keeps roll-ing a-a-a-long!
