Ballad Of Subic Bay
I joined the Navy for sixteen years,
sailing the seas that brought me here.
For sixteen years I'm running loose,
for sixteen years, I'm a Seaman deuce.
Horny sailors, all are we
for we must sail the seven seas.
One thousand miles we steamed today
to see our girls in Subic Bay.
Silver dollar on my girl's breast,
she's gone short time with Americas best.
One hundred men she laid today,
but only three in a normal way.
Take me back to my old joint,
my ship is anchored in Cubi Point.
And that girl I use to lay,
she's now the mayor of Subic Bay.
Silver dollar on my girl's breast,
an overnight, she does her best.
Of all the men that she's been with,
I'm the only one who caught that syph.
I joined the Navy; I don't like it.
Sailing the seas that brought me here.
And every time I sail away,
I long again for Subic Bay.
I long again for Subic Bay

I hit Subic Bay at 17 years old with 3rd Batt. 4th Marines on October 16th 1972 .Crossed the river and saw all those beautiful girls and thought I was in Heaven .
Robin Cloud are you certain you weren’t in Hong Kong or Sasebo? LOLOL
I was stationed at Cubi Point at that time period Seperate Guard Co. 72-74, outstanding
Sierra Club/ playboy club my hangout
Subic Bay is a sailors home away from home. Makes Las Vegas look like a dull party
Damn, the memories that brings back. 19 years old in 1972 on the USS Ranger, CVA 61.Olongapo was a hell of a place to become a man! I would love to live those days over again. It’s hard to believe it’s getting close to 50 years since then.
First time in 73 at 17 talking about an education! Saw a lot of changes there over years my last time 92 just before the base closed.
USS Long Beach CGN-9 72 WESTPAC, Stationed San Miguel US NAVSECGRU TDY from Taipei Taiwan. Outstanding duty and sweet memories for sure.
I have indelible memories of Subic Bay from the several ports calls there by my destroyer, USS EDSON (DD-946) during our WestPac deployment of 1971. If you've never been there, you really can't appreciate the song or the comments of shipmates on this post.
I made 2 WEST-PACS on the EDSON. SUBIC BAY was my favorite.
I was an ETC aboard Edson 1967-1969; made 2 WestPac cruises on her.
USS Enterprise May 1978 Subic Bay crossed shit river to olongapo and felt like Fonze on happy days. Plus, two women that I met the same day at different times both got into a fight over me.
Wow! I fish next to the EDSON on the Saginaw river in Bay City Michigan....She is displayed there and open to visitors
I was also on the Midway and was in the P.I. many times...80-83
AE-1 Dan Lobert
if I had to describe the PI to someone who has never been I would just say its like an adult disneyland and all the rides are x-rated
I was a farm fresh 17 year old when I crossed the Shit River bridge for the first time stupid and naieve. By the time I returned to the ship I felt worldly!!
I tuned 21 in subic during my 1st westpac in 1981. What a party!
I was on the MarDet of the USS Oriskany (CVA-34) at the end of my enlistment in1974. Alava Pier was the only place we could tie up west of HI. The "American Lake" of the Pacific ceased to be once we lost our PI bases. Every Marine and sailor tied their heart to Olongapo. Still would love to go there, even with it not so safe there now.
You wouldn't recognize the place.
March 1975, 17 years old, first ship, first duty day, Shore patrol in "the jungle"! I still remember that night! :P
When I was there (69-72) you had to be E-4 or higher and have a bit of salt to get SP duty in Olongapo - they didn't want people with no experience out on the streets!
I haven't heard this song in 30 years!! THANK YOU!! Good memories......of the happiest place on earth.....
My first time there 1972 USS Saratoga CVA60. Station Dito VC5 Cubi Point 1989-92. Many times there on USS Midway. Still married to my Filipina over 23 years.
onboard the Saratoga 71-72 - S-6 Division
I remember a different version that was sang in the night clubs.
yes Ernest TUBB SANG IT TOO
I stood a quarterdeck watch with an SK1 back in 1972 on our first trip into Subic. He said his first time in Subic in the mid-1960's was an eye opener. He's pretty sure he would have died from all day and all night partying if it wasn't for his duty days when he could sober up, dry out and get some sleep.
VRC-50 1986 -1988 great time to be a 20yr old.
VRC -50 1976 -1979.
VQ-1 86-90 Got to steal a T-56 engine from VRC-50 right off a C-130 in 1989. Our hut was right by VRC-50 at Cubi.
Airframes '89 to '92
HMAS Parramatta - 1969 and 1970...and I survived !!!!! Great memories.
debiedog1 likewise USS Truxtun DLGN35 Nuke powered guided missile frigate
Reminds me of my childhood in Olongapo City/Subic bay
Looking to purchase this record for my and Eddie Tallada's daughter. All copies were lost in the tsunami in the Philippines. She is Eddie's baby girl. I would love to purchase a copy of this as a gift for her. He is in critical condition right now, please keep him and our daughter in your prayers.
I was there many times between 1980-1982 on the USS Midway (CV-41) home ported at the time in Yokosuka, Japan. So Subic Bay, Philippines was our second home. Loved it.. Good times, great memories and even better shipmates..
COMSEVENTHFLT STAFF EMBARKED ON USS OKLAHOMA CITY CLG-5 Subic was our 2nd home port
Subic Bay, Hong Kong and Austrailia are the main memories of 2 WESTPAC cruises, late '68 and early '70.
First time in Subic Bay was waiting on my first ship USS Hewitt DD-966. Spent a month there or did it seam like a month...LOL. My home away from home. Sad that we lost Subic Bay.
I was onboard the USS Blue Ridge LCC-19 , I was part of the seventhflt staff. 1987 to 1989 and we use to frequently stop in Subic bay. My favorite stop was Ts Tavern!
The Blue Ridge was only ever at sea long enough to hit the next port!
I wish I could go back in time on the Connie and hit Subic and Olongapo. Grande Island was a nice place to rest.
btw still married to my asawa 26yrs this last Jan 2014
i was stationed at Sangley point in 1961-62 i was 16 years old i got to meet miss PHILIPPINES and miss Hawaii. they was together at the officers landing going across the bay to an admirals party.
you hear , what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Well Subic is a W H O L E different thing lolololoololooo
Oh the memories! I was there when this song first came out. 3 Tours at San Miguel, 1 tour at Cubi Point and many inport visits aboard ship.
i miss the philippines!! subic bay, ill be there when i retire. coming soon!
Sadly, the Olongapo we all have fond memories of no longer exists.
@@williamcody5271 what do you mean gone?? I think subic and olongapo is wonderful as it is now, beautiful beaches as it was before (I was there 4 months ago) lot of beach resorts and stuff and I think it is beautiful.
my mom grew up in subic, and my grandpa used to work in the naval base's restaurants... and I spend a lot of my childhood in subic and I really love that place until now.
@@charleslainegodoy4965 The Bases are both dumps now, overgrown vegetation, trash. The beaches are clogged with huts you have to rent. You obviously never saw the pristine, manicured, and immaculate conditions during the 70's, 80's, and earliest 90's. then Pinatubo happened and R.P. (P.I.) Senator Estrada wanted $! Billion USD for the base lease.
@@williamcody5271 well agree on that. but that is just Olongapo and Subic have been becoming well known here in the Ph. but that boom olongapo had is just in the aftermath of the 2010s... when the former base had been opened up for investments. And further soon Olongapo I think will be further invested as the govt eyes several infrastructure investment... I may not like what might happen in the future but it feels good to see that at least the people bounced back on their feet after most of their livelihoods were wiped out after the base left.
There's still a lot of beautiful areas and still untouched areas around Subic if that's what you like; but you have to veer further from the city, and around the vicinity of Morong
@@williamcody5271 agree about that idiot Estrada, certified corrupt (was ejected out of the presidency) and now his children (1 which has also been imprisoned for corruption but later case is dismissed) is now running for senate seat.
1982 to 1988 .... USS Midway.....need I say more?!
If they hadn't been there and you tried to explain it, NO ONE would believe you any way. Have another glass of MOJO, on me.
Man, what I wouldn't give to go on just one more mission across Shit River.
I sang the chorus of this song in the NCO Club of the Army's 3rd Surgical Hospital in RVN. Y'all should been there, helluva bar fight!
VP 1 cubi point. 1982 - 83. I lived 123 kessing st. Spent most of my time at Terry's place on Gordon ave. But I drank in every bar in town. So many girls, if I live to be a hundred I will never forget that town .
first time I went there was feb 1972 I was USAF my best friend was Navy. we were out of Danang when I saw the fine Filipina woman I told my friend frank toro I would be stationed there. in 78 I crossed over to the navy I was assigned to C7THLFT STAFF Radio Shack. and 4 weeks after that we left for Subic,. I was stoked. we worked in port 1-1-1=72 1-1-1=96. I reenlisted in 1980 for 6 years for RM C-7, Then USNS PASSUMPSIC-T-AO-107(7 month after arriving I got married still married to her almost 42 years later. we have 2 children.
I've been looking for this for sooooo long!! Anyone up for a good magsaisai crawl before hittin' Subic?
Sailed there in 2016. $100 USD bought three restaurant meals, open bar, a hotel room, transportation, a tiger petting zoo, and souvenirs. Sad to see how few ships pull in there today.
USS Oklahoma City, CLG-5.. Subic was a favorite and the bar bands were freakin' amazing. I loved their tweed amps that said "Fenler" on the badge. Great times, great bands, great girls. Where are you now, Donna?
Sailors and Marines lying on their backs with a dollar bill in the teeth and the Bar girl dancer picks it up without using her hands - try to visualize that? Amazing.
LMAO! Those were truly some GREAT times! USN 71-75
Been there, seen that. I've also seen a stack of coins picked up the same way. :-)
VRC 50 77 to 79 and then on the Connie westpac 80 love to go back to that time
VAQ-132 USS America CVA-66 1970.
West Pac 77-78 aboard USS Mt. Vernon. West Pac 79 aboard USS Tarawa. Hell of a good time!
Subic Bay,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, "Pearl of the Orient" :)
I love it!
Many trips to Subic 1965-1967 USS Ticonderoga CVA 14
Brings back memories of liberty in "the PI". Subic Bay and Olongapo City. Both fine party ports, especially when you went out in town with your "PESONALITY".....
