Hoagy Carmichael - Baltimore oriole lyrics

Baltimore oriole Took one look at that mercury, forty below No life for a lady To be draggin her feathers around in the snow Leaving me blue, off she flew To the tangipaho - down in louisiana Where a two - timin jaybird Met the divine miss o Id like to ruffle his plumage That baltimore oriole Messed around with that big guy Till he singed her wings Forgivin is easy - its 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 Fly to your daddy now
