Mandalay Quotes

“Wikipedia: Mandalay”

“Mountains of Burma, the road to Mandalay
In the mountains of Burma, light years away...”

“And the road goes on
Seeming ever longer on the way to Mandalay
And the road goes on
Forever will I wander on the way to Mandalay.”

“When I was young and had no sense
  In far-off Mandalay
I lost my heart to a Burmese girl
  As lovely as the day.”

“Come back I'd like to find the time
Plant a seed and raise a little Cain
Come back we'll throw a rope around the moon
And pretend that we're in Mandalay Again”

“Back to Port Blair, and onward to Rangoon
Athirst for war news; and we heard full soon
The loud salute resounding through the bay
For Theebaw caught and taken Mandalay.”

“By the old Moulmein Pagoda, lookin' lazy at the sea,
There's a Burma girl a-settin', and I know she thinks o' me;
For the wind is in the palm-trees, and the temple-bells they say:
"Come you back, you British soldier; come you back to Mandalay!"”
