Aura Lee

G      Gdim      A7               Am7      D7      G      D 
As the blackbird in the spring, 'neath the willow tree, 
 
G       Gdim      A7             Am7     D7    G 
Sat and piped, I heard him sing, sing of Aura Lee. 
G    G/F#  B7        C   C/B  Am7  Am7/G  B7 
Aura Lee, Aura Lee, maid with gol - den  hair,  
 E7    Bm7/5-   A7                   Am7     D7      G 
Sunshine came along with thee, and swallows in the air. 
 
 
On her cheek the rose was born, 'twas music when she spoke; 
In her eyes the light of morn with glorious splendor broke. 
 
Repeat Refrain: 
 
Take my heart and take my ring, I give by all to thee; 
Take me for eternity, Dearest Aura Lee. 
 
Repeat Refrain: 
 
Aura Lee, the birds may flee the willow's golden hair; 
Then the wintry winds may be blowing ev'rywhere. 
 
Final Refrain: 
 
Yet if they blue eyes I see, gloom will soon depart; 
For to me, sweet Aura Lee, is sunshine to the heart.

Sunshine came along with thee, and swallows in the air.

In thy blush the rose was born, music when you spake.
Through thine azure eye, the morn, sparkling seemed to break.
Aura Lee, Aura Lee, birds of crimson wing.
Never song have sung to me, as in that night, sweet spring.

Aura Lee, the bird may flee the willow's golden hair.
Swing through winter fitfully, on the stormy air.
Yet if thy blue eyes I see, gloom will soon depart;
For to me, sweet Aura Lee, is sunshine through the heart.

When the mistletoe was green, midst the winter's snows;
Sunshine in thy face was seen, kissing lips of rose.
Aura Lee, Aura Lee, take my golden ring.
Love and light return with thee, and swallows with the spring.
