Baltimore Oriole Lyrics


Baltimore Oriole
Took one look at that mercury, forty below
No life for a lady
To be draggin' her feathers around in the snowLeaving me blue, off she flew
To the Tangipaho, down in Louisiana
Where a two timin' Jaybird
Met the divine Miss OI'd like to ruffle his plumage
That Baltimore Oriole
Messed around with that big guy
Till he singed her wingsForgivin' is easy, it's a woman like, now and then
Could happen to thing
Send her back home
Home ain't home without her warblingHow she can sing
Make a lonely man happy, Baltimore Oriole
Come down from that boughSend her back home, back home
Home ain't home without her warblingHow she can sing
Make a lonely man happy, Baltimore Oriole
Come down from that bough

Fly to your daddy now

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Born in the decidedly non-bustling Arkansas town of Cherry Hill and raised in Texas, Bob Dorough played clarinet in his high school band and earned a BA in Music from what is now North Texas University. Before that, three years with a Special Services Army Band had given him loads of valuable experience in both playing and arranging.

In 1949, Bob made a bee-line for New York, where he took classes at Columbia University, immersed himself in the city’s rapidly evolving jazz scene and took whatever musical jobs he could land.
