George Harrison - Baltimore Oriole lyrics

Baltimore Oriole

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.
