Baltimore Oriole

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 me blue, off she flew

To the Tangipaho

Where a two-timing jaybird

Met the divine Miss O



I'd like to ruffle his plumage

Baltimore oriole

Mess around with the big guy

Till he sensed her wings

Forgivin' is easy it's a woman like

Now and then could happen to this thing



Send her back home

Home ain't home without her warbling

How she could sing

Make a lonely man happy

Baltimore oriole



Send her back home

Home ain't home without her warbling

How she could sing

Make a lonely man happy

Baltimore oriole

Come down from that bough

Fly back to your daddy now

Baltimore oriole
