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 ©1944 Warner Bros.
