1
When the warship's left Manila sailing proudly o'er the sea
2
All the sailors hearts were filled with fond regret
3
Looking backward to this Island where they spent such happy hours
4
Making love to every pretty girl they've met
5
(Well up stopped a little sailor with his pride eyes all aglow
6
Saying take a look at my girl's photograph)
7
Then the sailors gathered round him just to look upon her face
8
And he said I love my Filipino baby
9
She's my Filipino baby she's my trasure and my pet
10
Her teeth are bright and pearly and her hair is black as jet
11
Oh her lips are sweet as honey and her heart is true I know
12
She's my darling my little Filipino baby
13
[ steel ]
14
In a little rustic cottage in the port of Filipines dwells a lonely little maiden all alone
15
(She is thinking of her true love though he's far across the sea
16
And her heart beats true for him and him alone)
17
Then one day he whispered darling I've come back from Caroline
18
I've come back to claim the only girl I love
19
And that night there was a wedding while the ships crew gathered round
20
And he wed his little Filipino baby
21
She's my Filipino baby...
