AND THEN THERE WAS A "PURTY MISS"
WHO WAS WAITING FOR HER SAILOR TO COME HOME.
AND WHILE SHE WAS WAITING
SHE WAS SWINGING ON A SWING
SINGING THIS SONG: MY FILIPINO BABY

My Filipino Baby
When the warships 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 stepped a little Sailor with his pride eyes all aglow Saying take a look at my gal'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 treasure 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 little Filipino baby |
In a little rustic cottage in the port of Philippines
Dwells a lonely little maiden all alone She is thinking of her true love though he's far across the sea But 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 treasure 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 little Filipino baby Sung by: Ernest Tubb |
