Filipino Baby — текст песни (Hank Locklin)

When the warship left Manila sailing proudly o`er the sea
Many sailors hearts were filled with sad regret
Looking backward to this Island where they spent such happy hours
Making love to every pretty gal they`ve met
Well up stopped a little sailor with his bright eyes all aglow
Saying take a look my gal`s photograph
Then the sailors gathered round him just to look upon her face
And he said I love my Filipino baby
She`s my Filipino baby she`s my treasure and my pet
Her teeth are bright and pearly and her hair is black as jet
Her lips are sweet as honey and her heart is true I know
And I love my little Filipino baby
[ guitar ]
In a little rustic cottage in the Port of Fillippines
Dwells a pretty little maiden all alone
And she`s thinking of her true love though he`s far off cross the sea
And her heart beats true for him and him alone
Then one day he whispered darling I`ve come back from 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
And he wed his little Filipino baby
She`s my Filipino baby...
