MY FILIPINO ROSE
by Hank Snow
C G7 C
The postman dropped a letter in my door
F C
The address wasn't plain but I could see
F C
It had traveled far across the great Pacific
G7 C
From My Filipino Rose across the sea
G7 C
The writing from her trembling hand was blurred
F C
The paper it was badly stained with tears
F C
It read they tell me you have wed another
G7 C
After I have longed and waited all these years
F
But I'm still praying that the trade winds
G7 C
Send you sailing across the blue
F
In my harbor I've dreamed you'll anchor
G7 C
Where your lonely Filipino waits for you
G7 C
I promised her that I'd return some day
F C
I told her she'd won my heart and hand
F C
I told her a lie cause I was lonely
G7 C
Far from home a stranger in that foreign land
G7 C
She wrote I've watched the driftwood float on by
F C
I've watched the sea roll on its weary way
F C
I've watched the silver sails out on the ocean
G7 C
Hoping you might return to me someday
G7 C
The chains of love may never set you free
F C
But thru the years as memories fonder grow
F C
This broken heart will always wait for you dear
G7 C
It was signed your lonely Filipino Rose
repeat #3
