Roy Acuff - 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 treasure 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 In a little rustic cottage In the port of Philippines, Philippines 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 a S 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
