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 south land for his home
Where a two, timin' Jaybird
Met the divine Miss O

I'd like to ruffle his plumage
That Baltimore Oriole
Flew around around around with that jaybird
Till she singed his wings
But forgivin' is easy, it's a woman like, now and then
Might have been the same just
Send him back home but alone
Home ain't home without her warbling
How he can sing
Make a lonely gal happy, Baltimore Oriole
Fly down from your bough
Fly to your baby now.
