Filipino Baby

Filipino Baby - Cowboy Copas

When the warships left Manila

Sailing proudly o'er the sea deap sea

All the sailors hearts were

Filled with fond regret

Looking backward to this island

Where they spent such 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 'round

Him just to look upon her face

Upon her face

And he said "I love my Filipino baby"

Filipino

She's my Filipino baby

She's my treasure and my pet

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

Yea i konw

And he set love my darling baby Filipino

Then one day he whispered

"Darling I've come back

From Caroline 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

Gathered 'round and he

Wed his little darying baby 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

Yeas I know girl konw

And he set love

My darling baby Filipino
