Baltimore Oriole

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
