LYRICS MAN OF LA MANCHA

  Man Of La Mancha (I, Don Quixote)
Johnny Mathis
Music by Mitch Leigh and Words by Joe Darion

Title song from the Broadway show
Apparently never charted by anyone as a single


Hear me now, Oh, thou bleak and unbearable world
Thou art base and debauched as can be
And a knight with his banners all bravely unfurled
Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee!

BRIDGE
I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha
My destiny calls and I go
And the wild winds of fortune shall carry me onward
Oh, withersoever they blow
Withersoever they blow
Onward to glory I go



Hear me heathens and wizards and serpents of sin
All your dastardly doings are past
For a holy endeavor is now to begin
And virtue shall triumph at last.

I am I Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha.
A name all the world soon will know
I command all my soul to the wild winds of fortune
Oh wither so ever they blow
Wither so ever they blow
Onward to glory I go!
