Lyrics
When the desert moon is bright,
Then my caravan moves softly through the night,
Back to mystic Mandalay,
Where I left her by the Bay, one day,
Moon and starlight, too,
Guide me back to happiness and you.
CHORUS:
My Rose of Mandalay,
You stole my heart away,
Down by that shadowy oasis,
There I know my place is,
My heart you have made a lonely one, my only one!
While desert moonbeams play
To guide me on my way,
There'll be a joyful wedding day,
When I get back to you,
My Rose of Mandalay.
Desert breeezes whisper low
Through the palm trees as upon my way I go;
Desert flow'r, for you I sigh,
I am coming bye and bye, don't cry!
Silv'ry moonbeams shine
They all know that you will soon be mine.
