Liza Lee: Hear

Baltimore Oriole

(Liza Lee, Bruce Barth, Pat O'Leary, Michael Petrosino)
Hoagy Carmichael & Paul-Francis Webster
Baltimore Oriole
Took a look at the mercury
was fourty below
No life for a lady
To be dragging
Her feathers around in the snow

Leaving her mate
She flew straight to the Tantchpaho
Where a two timing jay bird
Met the divine Miss O'

I'd like to ruffle his plumage

Baltimore Oriole
Messed around with
that jay bird
Till he singed her wings
Forgiving is easy
It's a woman like
Now and then could happen thing

Send her back home
Home ain't home
Without her warbling I know
Make a lonely man happy
Baltimore Oriole
