Filipino Baby Songtext

When the warship left Manila sailing proudly o'er the sea
All the sailors hearts were filled with fond regret
Looking backward to this Island where they spent such happy hours
Making love to every pretty girl they've met

Well up stopped a little sailor with his pride eyes all aglow
Sayin' take a look at my girl's photograph
Then the sailors gathered round him just to look upon her face
And then he said I love my Filipino baby

She's my Filipino baby she's my trasure and my pet
Her teeth are bright and pearly and her hair is black as jet
Her lips are sweet as honey and her heart is true I know
She's my little Filipino baby
[ guitar - fiddle ]
In a little rustic cottage in the port of Filipines
mrofdi hl?mfoo?f
Dwells a little lonely maiden all alone
She's thinking of her true love though he's far across the sea
Her heart beats true for him and him alone

Then one day he whispered darling I've come back from Caroline
I've come back to claim the one that I love
And that night there was a wedding while the ships crew gathered round
And he wed his little Filipino baby

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