But, oh, my heart is breakin’

And the wild, wild waves at play,

And my baby’s eyes all closed in death

Close to Manila Bay.

I’m thinkin’ av the little hands

That’s fastened ’round my heart;

They’re tellin’ me, “Have courage,

Sure, life’s to meet and part.”

But, oh, my heart is breakin’

And the wild, wild waves at play,
