Del Reeves - 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 on 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 want to get right down to the nitty-gritty

You can bat a thousand every time



I met a Yankee in New York and I love an Angel out in LA

But those Philadelphia Fillies tore my mind apart

And this Giant's leaving Frisco today

[ guitar - steel ]

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...



Well I'm sitting here a thinking about those Philadelphia Fillies...

There's some nice looking twins up in Minnesota...
