The Shelton Brothers - Aura Lee

As the blackbird in the spring

'Neath the willow tree

Sat and talked, I heard him sing

Singing Aura Lee

Aura Lee, Aura Lee

Maid with golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swallows in the air

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

On her cheeks a rose was born

'Twas music when she spake

In her eyes the rays of morn

With sudden splendor break

Aura Lee, Aura Lee

Maid with golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swallows in the air

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
