By the old Moulmein Pagoda
Looking eastward to the sea
There's a Burma gal a settin'
And I know that she waits for me
And 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 hear those 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.
Rudyard Kipling
