Philadelphia Fillies Lyrics - Del Reeves

Well I'm sitting here a thinking about those Philadelphia Fillies 

And some may think I'm talking bout baseball 

But I'm talking about the ones that wear them dresses on so pretty 

And the way they swing should be against the law 

There's a lot of dangerous curves in that beautiful city 

Oh but you'll never see no warning signs 

And if you want to get right down to the nitty-gritty 

You can bat a thousand every time 

I met a Yankee in New York and I love an Angel out in LA 

But those Philadelphia Fillies tore my mind apart 

And this Giant's leaving Frisco today 

[ guitar - steel ] 

There's some nice looking twins up in Minnesota 

And Atlanta's got a brave girl or two 

And I cuddled a cubby in old Chicago 

But Philadelphia I'm a coming back to you 

I met a Yankee in New York...
