Transcribed. Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads brings you a popular version of Balth's Immortal Opera, the Bohemian Girl starring Gordon MacRae and his celebrated guest from the Metropolitan Opera, Dorothy Kirsten.
Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes tonight, another thrilling musical drama is brought to you by the American railroads. The same railroads that bring you most of the food you eat.
The colds you wear, the fuel you burn and all the other things you use in your daily life. And now here is our snark, Gordon, the great! Thank you, Marlin Miller, and good evening ladies and gentlemen.
Tonight I shall be Thaddeus and Dorothy Kirsten is our lean in our railroad, our impression of the Bohemian girl. The wind that blows through the pine tops of the Austrian forests also fans the campfires of the wandering gypsies.
There are no marble halls in the mountain wilds, and only the boughs of the forest make a roof over our heads. But a man or a woman can be happy, serving in the band of the gypsy king.
The gypsy's life you ring I fad all life fully In the gypsy's life you ring Do you ever dream?
All the time, when I'm with you, Arlene, I dream of everything lovely in the world And I don't even have to close my eyes Sometimes this gypsy life we lead seems to be a vision And the dream I have, over and over again and again My dream seems to be reality What have you dreamt my love? Tell me.
