Verse
Baltimore Oriole
Took a look at that mercury, forty below
No life for a lady
To be draggin' her feathers around in the snow
Bridge
Leaving me blue, off she flew
To the Tangipaho, down in Louisiana
Where a two, timin' Jaybird
Met the divine Miss O
I'd like to ruffle his plumage
Verse
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
Bridge
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
Solo
Bridge
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
Solo
