When the warship's left Manila Sailing proudly o'er the sea deep blue seaMany sailors hearts were filled with sad regretLooking backward to this island Where they spent such happy hours, happy hoursMaking love to every pretty girl they've metWell up stopped a little sailor With his pride eyes all aglow all aglowSaying, "Take a look at my girl's photograph."Then the sailors gathered 'round him Just to look upon her face smiling faceAnd he said I love my Filipino babyShe's my Filipino baby She's my treasure and my pet loving petHer teeth are bright and pearly And her hair as black as jetHer lips are sweet as honey And her heart is true, I know true, I knowShe's my darling little dark eyed FilipinoIn a little rustic cottage In the port of Philippines, Philippines Dwells a pretty little maiden all aloneLetras de cancionesAnd she's thinking of her darling Who is far across the sea deep blue seaAnd her heart beats true for him and him aloneThen one day he whispered darling I've come back from Caroline South CarolineI've come back to claim the only girl I loveThen that night there was a wedding As the ships crew gathered round all aroundAnd he wed his little Filipino babyShe's my Filipino babyShe's my darling little dark eyed Filipino From Letras Mania
