Blackmore's Night - Way to Mandalay

Ghost of a Rose (2003) track 1
I wandered down the pathway, through the misty moor
Like I knew he did a thousand times before
Voices seem to echo "Come talk with me a while
Just around the corner, just another mile..."
I had heard the stories, her legend served her well
A mystic's myth or fable, truth or fairy tale
A raggle taggle gypsy , with a toothless smile
Said "Sit with me my darling, let's talk a little while..."
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...
The mile went on forever, the minutes turned to days
Could I have been misguided by the mystic's ways?
The moment lasts forever, at least it does for me
Caught between what happened and what could never be...
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...

[@zeph6439]

Sister Gypsy's next.

[@imaginary92]

@sincerelynatalie I thought that too, but I just copy-pasted the lyrics from some other site, cause I can't spend my day writing down the whole lyrics myself XD

[@DruidRobur]

@imaginary92 well sometimes the singer will mess up the lyrics while they're singing and just keep it that way

[@sincerelynatalie]

@imaginary92 haha, yeah, I understand lol

[@AsteaFrosty]

@Ecxcabre Compare with other versions (I think it's not letting me post a link but it's video ID P7a720JhMIc)

[@Ecxcabre]

@FallenDramon
I thought that was on purpose...

[@savannahlee6995]

Magiquest anyone??

[@sincerelynatalie]

I think it says a "ratted tattered gypsy", not raggle taggle. Just a thought =)

[@g0sh3t0]

not bad at all, but i think axel rudi pell has played batter

[@3003wertpro]

bad song, too slow

[@wizardrystoryteller9714]

oorlog. In nederland leven we al 70 in vrede en vrijheid. Dat was tussen 1940 en 1945 wel anders

[@lorendaemon7945]

I hope the Wiccan/witch community will stop using the slur g*psy so much.

[@Madman2001madman]

As a Wiccan, I have never heard anyone slur gypsies. Gosh

[@lorendaemon7945]

RC Monkeyboy It's Roma, and I can do you l o t s of songs from people who have the slur in it, if you want.
