Aura Lee Songtext

1. As the blackbird in the spring
'neath the willow tree

Sat and piped
I heard him sing
Praising Aura Lee.
Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee and swall-ows in the air.

2. Take my heart and take my ring
I give my all to thee

Take me for eternity
Dearest Aura Lee!
Aura Lee! Aura Lee . . .

3. In her blush the rose was born
'twas music when she spoke

In her eyes
The light of morn
Sparkling seemed to break.
Aura Lee! Aura Lee . . .

4. Aura Lee
The bird may flee the willow' golden hair

Then the wintry winds may be blowing ev'rywhere.
Yet if thy blue eyes I see
Gloom will soon depart

For to me
Sweet Aura Lee is sunshine to the heart.
