George Harrison's song "Baltimore Oriole" tells a story of a woman leaving a man behind to pursue a relationship with another person. The lyrics describe the woman's departure from the cold weather in Baltimore to Louisiana, where she meets a deceitful man referred to as a "two-timing Jaybird." The man's actions cause the woman to become disenchanted, and she ultimately returns home. The lyrics also express the narrator's feelings of longing and desire for the woman, referring to her as a beautiful and talented bird, the Baltimore Oriole. Despite the woman's actions, the narrator forgives her easily, emphasizing the unconditional love he has for her. The song's main themes revolve around love, betrayal, forgiveness, and the power of music to bring joy and happiness. The Baltimore Oriole is used metaphorically to represent the woman's beauty and voice, which captivates the narrator and makes him feel complete.
