Filipino Baby Lyrics - Singles - Roy Acuff

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
