Filipino Baby |
| When the warship’s 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 |
| Saying take a look at my girl’s photograph) |
| Then the sailors gathered round him just to look upon her face |
| And 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 |
| Oh her lips are sweet as honey and her heart is true I know |
| She’s my darling my little Filipino baby |
| In a little rustic cottage in the port of Filipines dwells a lonely little |
| maiden all alone |
| (She is thinking of her true love though he’s far across the sea |
| And 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 only girl 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 |
| Her teeth are bright and pearly and her hair is black as jet |
| Oh her lips are sweet as honey and her heart is true I know |
| She’s my darling my little Filipino baby |
