Baltimore Oriole
Hoagy Carmichael, Paul Francis Webster
Baltimore oriole
Took a look at the mercury, forty below
No life for a lady
To be dragging her feathers around in the snow
Leaving her mate, she flew straight
To the Tangipaho
Where a two timing jaybird
Met the divine miss o
Baltimore oriole
Messed around with that jay bird
'Til he singed her wing
Forgiving is easy
It's a woman like, "now and then it happens" sort of thing
Send her back home
Home ain't home without her warbling
Make a lonely man happy
Baltimore oriole
Come down from your bough
Fly to your baby now
Baltimore oriole
