Dave Dudley - Filipino Baby Lyrics


Dave Dudley Lyrics

Filipino Baby Lyrics
When the warship's left Manila sailin' proudly o'er the sea deep blue see

Every soldier's heart was still filled with fond regret

Looking backward to the Island where they spent such happy hours happy hours

Making love to every pretty girl they've met

Well up stepped a little sailor with his bright eyes all aglow all aglow

Saying take a look at my gal's photograph

Then they gathered round him just to look upon her face that's smiling face

And he said I love my Filipino baby

She's my Filipino baby she's my trasure and my pet my loving 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 pure as snow yes I know

And I love my little Filipino baby

[ steel ]

Then one day he whispered darling I've come back from Caroline North Caroline

I've come back to claim the only girl I love

And that night there was a wedding

And the ships crew gathered round they're all around

And he wed his little Filipino baby

She's my Filipino baby...

Oh how I love my little Filipino baby
