[Verse 1]
Baltimore oriole
Took one look at that mercury, forty below
No life for a lady
To be dragging her feathers around in the snow
Leaving me blue, off she flew
To the Tangipahoa, down in Louisiana
Where a two timing Jaybird
Met the divine Miss O
I'd like to ruffle his plumage
[Verse 2]
That Baltimore oriole
Messed around with that big guy
Till he singed her wings
Forgiving 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
