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 her mate she flew strate

To the Tangipaho

Where a two timin' blackbird

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

Make a lonely man happy Baltimore Oriole

Come down from that bough

Fly back to me now

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
