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 in Louisiana   Where a two timin' 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      Send her back home, 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
