Harrison, George - 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 snow
Leaving me blue, off she flew
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
How she can sing
Make a lonely man happy, Baltimore Oriole
Come down from that bough
Fly to your daddy now.

Harrison, George Baltimore Oriole Comments
Great song and performance
Grandeeeeeeeeeee
I bought every album George put out including this one. He left us way too early. I know he had a lot of good music left in him--miss him much.
I Love you George Harrison....
Fantastic cover. Dreamy and sexy sax solo.
6 dislikes got bird poop in the head by a flying Baltimore Oriole
this is not a good song for Harrison to sing, Harrison mumbles when he sings and you need to understand every word
I love this man! He has a voice like no other! He is great eye candy. Sexy looks and voice.
Awesome
I think that Adrienne Barbeau sang this song as part of the soundtrack of "Top of the Hill."
miss you ......
Amoooo essa música George Harrison saudades bons tempos woonderful😍😍😍😍😍😍😘😘😍😍😍😍😍💚💛💚💛💚💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛Brasil i Love Beatles
I consider Judy Henske's version as the definitive version. I wonder if George Harrison was influenced by Judy's version?
i love, love, looooooooove this song...
cool and CHILL
Wow! Wonderful!!!!
This song was part of the soundtrack for the 1944 movie 'To Have and Have Not' starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, which was their first film together. Hoagy Carmichael himself also starred in that movie as the local bar musician called Cricket and he performed both Baltimore Oriole and Hong Kong Blues which George also covers on Somewhere in England.
Alden21 Yep that was a great movie.
Харрисон хороший человек
Excelente tema de un álbum ciertamente irregular.
Great sax. Great George!
A very cool and mysterious track. Sounds like a James Bond song
questo LP è bellissimo ti trascina con se goodbay Harrison
Great job!!!
Love this song <3
<3 Love George, Hare Hare.
great tune!!!
Nem lehet megunni
Minden nap meghallgatom !!!!!!!!!!
que tema... una de mis preferidas 🎶🎶
Hansa Ahya always loved and listen to soft music. She loved her children and her life.
Thanks
Bandmates!
George's music was much better than his post Beatle bandages. This song is a perfect example, even though he didn`t write it.
BEAUTIFUL!!!
The cover is much more effective,colourful and intense than the original thanks to the three extraordinary harmonious, flexible saxophone solos sax of Tom Scott (initial, middle and final).
Respect to Tom Scott! Always brought something when he performed with George
Exactly. It shows the greatness of the Beatles. Turning a fine tune into great music
Great, great cover of an old Hoagy Carmichael song that obviously doesn't age. George also respectfully, as mentioned earlier, covered Hoagy's "Hong Kong Blues," also brilliantly. So many jewels of songs from the past -- George was never afraid of digging them up and pumping new life into them. Great songs are just great songs no matter when they were written...especially if they were written by a genius like Hoagy Carmichael. Tune was covered also back in the 60's by rock band The Cryan Shames and they too did a wonderful job.
Hoagy was one hell of a songwriter.
John LaStrada iiii
This music was written by Hoagy Carmichael. He also wrote Hong Kong Blues which is also on this album. Good rendition by George. He was the best performer of the Beatles after they broke up, in my opinion.
John said that George was so good at arranging
other tracks that made a mistake when he did not report that
My sweet lord was his arrangement of a song not composed by him (He's so fine by Ronnie Mack) so that he would have avoided the long cause of plagiarism that forced him to pay a few million dollars to the real author. In fact George arranged that song so well that it became a worldwide success while Mack's song
had remained almost unknown.
Send her back home... But alone....
Great line ...isnt it?
It was my favourite track from the album.
I'm so lucky to have had this album way back in the day, thanks for the trip down memory lane
oh how i love George.
Woke up with this in my head today and had to hear it.. Thanks for posting it so I didn't have to bust out the vinyl! :-)
I love this version of Hoagie Carmichael's song. George was an excellent interpreter of other people's music as well as all his own original compositions. Very talented and gifted man who left us all too soon. NO SMOKING!
Great favorate from somewhere in England lp
Great Tom Scott. His sax is just extraordinary.
This is by far the best arrangement of the famous song of Carmichael.
this song is unappreciated

IM FROM BALTIMORE I CAME
I'm - he is
temon gracias podrias tracucirlo español gracias
Go Baltimore Raven
Grande George, música exquisita, de rasgos espirituales,encantadora .......
George tienes una voz tan dulce como tu alma
We miss you George RIP
Best cover song ever
It is indeed a Hoagy Carmicheal song. Hoagy played this song himself on piano in the Bogart/Bacall movie "To Have and Have Not" which was incidentally Lauren Bacall's first movie and the movie where she met future husband Humphrey Bogart. Hoagy also played "Hong Kong Blues" in the movie and this song was also covered by Harrison on this same album. Great stuff.
Very good choice. "That which I have lost" is a good one... and the rest....
S.I.E. is an excellent album. His music made some changes from 1970 and they were all good. Love ya George. This old place aint the same without you and Johnny.
Thanks for posting Baltimore O the best version Ive seen & all the way from Mexico : here's a bit of Uk comedy jazz 4 you to look at...
It's a Hoagy Carmichael tune.

Thanks for posting my favorite song from 'Somewhere in England'. George's voice is very sexy in this.
