Del Reeves - The Philadelphia Fillies Lyrics

Well, I'm sitting here a thinking about those Philadelphia Fillies
And some may think I'm talking 'bout baseball
But I'm talking about the ones that wear them dresses oh so pretty
And the way they swing should be against the law

There's a lot of dangerous curves in that beautiful city
Oh, but you'll never see no warning signs
And if you wanna get right down to the nitty-gritty
Oh, you can bat a thousand every time

I met a Yankee in New York, and I love an angel out in L.A.
But those Philadelphia Fillies tore my mind apart
And this giant's leaving Frisco today

There's some nice looking twins up in Minnesota
And Atlanta's got a brave girl or two
And I cuddled a cubby in old Chicago
But Philadelphia I'm a coming back to you

I met a Yankee in New York, and I love an angel out in L.A.
But those Philadelphia Fillies tore my mind apart
And this giant's leaving Frisco today

I'm sitting here a thinking about those Philadelphia Fillies
And some may think I'm talking 'bout baseball
I'm talking about the ones that wear them hot pants oh so pretty
And the way they swing should be against the law

There's some nice looking twins up in Minnesota
And Atlanta's got a brave girl or two
And there's some nice looking legs in Cincinnati
But Philadelphia I'm a coming back to you
