Baltimore Oriole
Took one look at that mercury, forty below
No life for a lady
To be dragging her feathers around in the snow.
Leaving me blue, off she flew
To the Tangipaho, down in Louisiana
Where a two-timing Jaybird met the divine Miss O.
I'd like to ruffle his plumage
That Baltimore Oriole
Messed around with that big guy till he singed her wings
Forgiving is easy
It's a woman like now and then could happen to thing.
Send her back home
Home ain't home without her warbling
How she can sing
Make a lonely man happy, Baltimore Oriole
Come down from that bough.
Send her back home
Home ain't home without her warbling
How she can sing
Make a lonely man happy, Baltimore Oriole
Come down from that bough
Fly to your daddy now.
