Baltimore Oriole Lyrics - Performs Trouble No More Live At Town Hall - John Mellencamp

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 Louisiana 

Where a two-tiin' Jaybird 

Met the divine Miss O

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

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.
