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 |
|
Fly to your daddy now |
