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 Louisiana

Where a two-tiin ＇ Jaybird

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

How she can sing

Make a lonely man happy Baltimore Oriole

Come down from that bough

Fly to your daddy now

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

Fly to your daddy now
