Filipino Baby Lyrics

Filipino Baby lyrics

When the warship's left Manila sailing proudly o'er the sea deep blue sea



Many sailors hearts were filled with sad regret



Looking backward to this Island where they spent such happy hours happy
hours



Making love to every pretty girl they've met







Well up stopped a little sailor with his pride eyes all aglow all aglow



Saying take a look at my girl's photograph



Then the sailors gathered round him just to look upon her face smiling face



And he said I love my Filipino baby







She's my Filipino baby she's my trasure and my pet loving pet



Her teeth are bright and pearly and her hair as black as jet



Her lips are sweet as honey and her heart is true I know true I know



She's my darling little dark eyed Filipino



[ banjo ]



In a little rustic cottage in the port of Filipines Filipines



Dwells a pretty little maiden all alone



And she's thinking of her darling who is far across the sea deep blue sea



And her heart beats true for him and him alone







Then one day he whispered darling I've come back from Caroline South
Caroline



I've come back to claim the only girl I love



Then that night there was a wedding as the ships crew gathered round all
around



And he wed his little Filipino baby







She's my Filipino baby...



She's my darling little dark eyed Filipino
