1981 - Somewhere In England
BALTIMORE ORIOLE
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
This is my absolute favorite song on this album(even when I found out it wasn't his song...)!! Although this version is just slightly slower than the one I'm familiar with, which just slightly irks me. In any case... who cares? A beautiful, beautiful song.
