baltimore oriole
Singer: 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
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.
