Baltimore Oriole

Paul Francis Webster, Hoagy Carmichael

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 Tangipaho
Where a two timin jaybird
Met the divine miss o
I'd like to ruffle his plumage

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

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
