Baltimore Oriole Lyrics - George Harrison

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
