Filipino Baby

Filipino Baby (菲律宾宝贝) - Cowboy Copas/Don Reno

When the warships left manila

Sailing proudly over the sea deap sea

All the sailors hearts were

Filled with fond regret

Looking backward to this island

Where they spent 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 around

Him just to look upon her face

Smiling face

And he said I love my dark faced Filipino

She's my Filipino baby

She's my treasure and my pet

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 true I know

Yea I know

And he said I love my dark faced Filipino

Then one day he whispered

Darling I've come back

From Caroline

Some Caroline

I can back to claim the only girl I love

And that night there was

A wedding while the ships crew

Gathered around

Gathered around and he

Wed his little dark faced Filipino

She's my Filipino baby

She's my treasure and my pet

Love my pet you 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

Yes I know girl know

And he said I love my dark faced Filipino
