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

<instrumental last two lines of the verse and first two lines of BRIDGE>

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!
