Baltimore Oriole
She took a look at the mercury one day
Well, it was forty below
No time for a lady
To be draggin' her feathers around in the snow
Leaving her mate, straight she flew to the Tangipahoa
Where a two-timing jaybird
Met the divine miss, oh
Baltimore Oriole
She messed around with that jaybird
'Til he singed her wings
Forgivin' is easy
It's a woman-like, now-and-then-happens sort of thing
Take her back home
Home ain't home without her warbling
It makes a lonely man happy
Baltimore, Baltimore Oriole
Baltimore Oriole
She took a look at the mercury one day
Well, it was forty below
No time for a lady
To be draggin' her feathers around in the snow
Leaving her nest, well she was dressed in her best
Off she flew to the Tangipahoa
(That's a big river near Baltimore)
Where a two-timing jaybird
Met the divine miss, oh
They played around with the snow on the ground
Baltimore Oriole
She messed around with that jaybird
'Til he singed her wings
Forgivin' is easy
It's a, it's a woman-like, now-and-then-happens sort of thing
Take her back home
Home ain't home without, without her warbling
It makes a lonely man happy
Baltimore, Baltimore Oriole
Come down from that bough
Fly to your Daddy
Fly to your Daddy now
