Lyrics
1. One I love, far away, far away, far away
Land of Love, Mandalay, Mandalay, Mandalay
Where the waving trees kiss the ocean breeze
In a garden fair, ‘mid the roses there
I’m goin’ to find someone who waits for me across the sea
Chorus
I’m on my way to Mandalay
Beneath the shelt’ring palms I want to stray
Oh, let me live and love for aye
On that Island far away
I’m sentimental for my Oriental love
So sweet and gentle
That’s why I’m on my way to Mandalay
I’ve come to say “Goodbye”
2. All night long, by the sea, by the sea, by the sea
Her love song rings for me, rings for me, rings for me
All the world will seem just a lively dream
And I’ll never stray far from Mandalay
I’ll live for one who lives alone for me in days to be
