Aura Lee by The Shelton Brothers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As the blackbird in the Spring
'Neath the willow tree
Sat and talked, I heard him sing
Singing Aura Lee!

[Chorus]
Aura Lee!, Aura Lee!
Maid of golden hair
Sunshine came along with thee
And swallows in the air

[Verse 2]
When the mistletoe was green
Midst the winter's snows
Sunshine in thy face was seen
Kissing lips of rose

[Chorus]
Aura Lee!, Aura Lee!
Take my golden ring
Love and light return with thee
And swallows with the Spring
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
On her cheek a rose was born
Music when you spake
In her azure eyes of morn
With southern splendor break

[Chorus]
Aura Lee!, Aura Lee!
Take my golden ring
Love and light return with thee
And swallows with the Spring

[Verse 4]
Aura Lea! The bird may flee
The willow's golden hair
Swing through winter fitfully
On the stormy air

[Chorus]
Yet if thy blue eyes I see
Gloom will soon depart
For to me, sweet Aura Lea
Is sunshine through the heart
