Baltimore Oriole (Birds of a Feather) (Remaster) - Carmen McRae

Written by：Carmichael/Webster/Hoagy Carmichael

Baltimore

Oriole

Took a look at that mercury forty below

No life for a lady

To be draggin' her feathers around in the snow

Leaving her mate

She flew straight

To the Tangipaho

Where a two timin' blackbird met

The divine Miss O

I'd like to ruffle his plumage

Baltimore Oriole

Messed around with that

Big mouth

Till he singed her wing

Forgivin' is easy

It's a woman like

Now and then

Could happen thing

Send her back home

Home ain't home without her warbling

Make a lonely man happy

Baltimore Oriole

Come down from that bough

Fly back to me

Send her back home

Home ain't home without her warbling

Make a lonely man happy

Baltimore Oriole

Come down from that bough

Fly back

To me now

Baltimore Oriole
