Filipino Baby Composer(s): Billy Cox; Clark Van Ness; Ernest Tubb Performer(s): Ernest Tubb and various other artists
When the warships left Manila, sailing proudly over the sea All, the sailors hearts were filled with found regret Looking backward to this island where they spent such happy hours Making love to ever pretty girl they met
Then up step a little sailor with his bright eyes all aglow Saying, take a look at my gals photograph Then the sailors gathered around him Just to look upon her face And he said I love my Filipino Baby
Shes my Filipino Baby Shes my treasure and my pet Her teeth are bright and pearly And her hair is black as jet O her lips are sweet as honey And her heart is true I know Shes my darling little Filipino Baby
In a little rustic cottage in the far off Philippines Dwells a lonely little maiden all alone She is thinking of her true love, though he is far across the sea And her heart beats true for him and him alone
Then one day he whispered "Darlin Ive come back from Caroline" "Ive come back to claim the only girl I love" Then that night there was a wedding while the ships crew gathered round And he wed his little Filipino Baby
Shes my Filipino Baby Shes my treasure and my pet Her teeth are bright and pearly And her hair is black as jet O her lips are sweet as honey And her heart is true I know Shes my darling little Filipino Baby
