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

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 aint 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
