- Ernest Tubb Filipino baby 歌詞
- Ernest Tubb
- When the warship left
Manila headin out across the sea
All the sailors hearts were filled with fond regret
Looking backward to the islands where they spent such happy hours
Making love to every pretty girl theyve met (When up stepped a little sailor with his bright eyes all aglow Saying take a look at my girls photograph)
Then the sailors gathered round him just to look upon her face
And he said
I love my
Filipino baby
Shes my Filipino baby shes 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 And shes my darling little
Filipino baby [ steel ]
In a little rustic cottage in the far off
Phillipines dwells a lonely little maiden all alone (She is thinking of her true love though hes far across the sea And her heart beats true for him and him alone)
Then one day he whispered darling
Ive come back from
Caroline Ive 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
And shes my little
Filipino baby...
