Baltimore Oriole

[Intro] One, two, three [Verse 1] Baltimore Oriole Took a look at the 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 Tangipahoa Where a two-timin' jaybird Met the divine Miss O I'd like to ruffle his plumage [Verse 2] Baltimore Oriole Messed around with the big guy 'til he singed her wings Forgivin' is easy It's a woman-like, now-and-then-could-happen-to-us thing Send her back home Home ain't home without her warbling How she could sing Make a lonely man happy Baltimore Oriole [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Send her back home Home ain't home without her warbling How she could sing Make a lonely man happy Baltimore Oriole [Outro] Come down off that bough Fly back home to your daddy now Baltimore Oriole
