Aura Lee

Aura Lee - The Shelton Brothers

As the black bird in the spring

In the willow tree

Sat and piped 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 the 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

In her blush the rose was born

End music when she spake

In her eyes the light of morn

Spark man seemed to break

Aura lee aura lee

Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee and swallows in the air

Aura lee the bird may flee

The willow's golden hair

Sweet though the winter fitfully

On the storm yet

Yet if the blue eyes I see

Gloom will soon depart

For to me sweet aura lee

Is sunshine through the heart
