This summer my son and I met the Captain from The Time Bandit (Discovery’s Deadliest Catch). We wrote a song that’s on You Tube indexed under “Greenhorn Lament” by John Dante and the Inferno. Although I live in Ohio, we get some good beach and wave action in the Great Lakes. jdf

So this is only about contemporary songs… So how did everybody miss… (drum roll)… Sloop John B by the Beach Boys?
“Filipino Baby” by Ernest Tubb
When the warship left Manila headin’ out across the sea
All the sailors hearts were filled with fond regret
Looking backward to the islands where they spent such happy hours
Making love to every pretty girl they’ve met
(When up stepped a little sailor with his bright eyes all aglow
Saying take a look at my girl’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
Oh her lips are sweet as honey and her heart is true I know
And she’s my darling little Filipino baby
In a little rustic cottage in the far off Phillipines dwells a lonely little maiden all alone
(She is thinking of her true love though he’s far across 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:D
*the entire instrumential cd “wind in the rigging”…has a good bit of the penny whistle…a great little “salty” instrument to learn to play!!
