Baltimore Oriole

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 Tangipahoa, down in Louisiana Where a two timing Jaybird Met the divine Miss O I'd like to ruffle his plumage [Verse 2] 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 [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2 excerpt] Send her back home and alone 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
