Chords for My Filipino Baby - Mr. Ernest Tubb

_ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ When the warships left Manila, [Em] sailing [F] proudly o'er the sea,
[C] All the sailors' hearts [D] were filled with [G] fond regret. _ _ _ _
_ [C] Looking backward to this island, where [F] they spent such happy hours,
Making [G] _ love to every pretty girl [C] they'd met. _ _ _
When up stepped a little sailor, with his [F] bright eyes all aglow,
[C] Saying, take a [E] look at [D] my gal's [Em] photograph.
_ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] Yet the sailors gathered round him, just to [F] look upon her face,
[F]
And [G] he said, [Dm] I love my [D] Filipino _ [C] baby. _ _ _ _
She's my _ Filipino _ baby, [F] she's my treasure and my pet.
[C] Her teeth are bright and pearly, and [D] her hair is black [G] as _ jibs.
_ Oh, [C] her lips are sweet as [D] honey, and [F] her heart is true, I know.
She's [G] my darling little Filipino _ [C] baby. _ _
_ I live _ _ _
_ _ [D] in [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ a little _ rustic [Dm] cottage in [F] the far-off _ Philippines.
Dwells [Am] a lonely _ [D]
little maiden all [G] alone. _ _ _
_ _ She [C] is thinking of her true [D] love, though [F] he's far across the sea.
But [G] her heart beats true for him and him [C] alone. _ _
_ _ And one day he _ whispered, Darling, [D] I've come [F] back from _ Carolina.
I've [C] come back to claim [D] the only girl [G] I love. _
_ _ [C] Then that night there was a wedding, while [F] the ships gathered _ round,
And [G] he wed his little _ _ Filipino [C] baby. _ _
_ _ [G] She's my Filipino _
[C] baby, [D] she's my [F] treasure and my pet.
_ [C] Her teeth are bright and pearly, and [D] her hair is black [G] as _ jibs.
_ _ Oh, [C] her lips are sweet as honey, [Dm] and [F] her heart is true, I know.
[G] She's my darling little _ Filipino _
[Cm] baby.
