Basey River

By the banks of the never-ending Basey River
My girl sat quiet when I left her
Believing that someday I'll be back home
And by the riverbanks, she'll never be alone

Far across the blue water
Halfway through the blue Samar sky
Over hills and blue green mountains
I'm going far and far

I may fly high on a plane
Board the ferry, ride the train
I can be anywhere my feet take me
But I'll come home, oh my dearest Daphne

And if I ever lose my way
I'll just sail, another day
The old Basey River was never ending
But my side of the river ends
Where Daphne is waiting

I may fly high on a plane
Board the ferry, ride the train
I can be anywhere my feet take me
But I'll come home to my dearest Daphne

And if I ever lose my way
I'll just sail for one more day
The old Basey River was never ending
But my side of the river ends
Where Daphne is waiting

But my side of the river ends
Where Daphne is waiting
