As the blackbird in the spring, 'neath the willow tree, Sat and piped, I heard him sing, sing of Aura Lee. Aura Lee, Aura Lee, maid with gol - den hair, 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.
