Baltimore Oriole

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



I'd like to ruffle his plumage

That baltimore oriole

Messed around with that big guy

Till he singed her wings

Forgivin' 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

Fly to your daddy now
