As the blackbird in the spring, 'neath the willow tree,
A7 D7 G
Sat and piped, I heard him sing; sing of Aura Lee.
B7 Em G7 C G
Aura Lee, Aura Lee, maid with golden hair
E7 A7 D7 G
Sunshine came along with thee, and swallows in the air.
G A7 D7 G
In thy blush the rose was born, music when you spake.
A7 D7 G
Through thine azure eye, the morn, sparkling seemed to break.
B7 Em G7 C G
Aura Lee, Aura Lee, birds of crimson wing
E7 A7 D7 G
Never song have sung to me as in that night, sweet spring.
G A7 D7 G
Aura Lee, the bird may flee the willow's golden hair
A7 D7 G
Swing through winter fitfully, on the stormy air.
B7 Em G7 C G
Yet if thy blue eyes I see, gloom will soon depart.
E7 A7 D7 G
For to me, sweet Aura Lee is sunshine through the heart.
G A7 D7 G
When the mistletoe was green, midst the winter's snows
A7 D7 G
Sunshine in thy face was seen kissing lips of rose.
B7 Em G7 C G
Aura Lee, Aura Lee, take my golden ring.
E7 A7
Love and light return with thee,
D7 G
and swallows with the spring.
