Aura Lee Lyrics - The Shelton Brothers

When the blackbird in the Spring 

On the willow tree 

Sat and rocked, I heard him sing 

Singing Aura Lea 

Aura Lea, Aura Lea 

Maid with golden hair 

Sunshine came along with thee 

And swallows in the air 

Aura Lea, Aura Lea 

Maid with golden hair 

Sunshine came along with thee 

And swallows in the air 

In thy blush the rose was born 

Music, when you spake 

Through thine azure eye the morn 

Sparkling seemed to break 

Aura Lea, Aura Lea 

Birds of crimson wing 

Never song have sung to me 

As in that sweet spring 

Aura Lea, Aura Lea 

Maid with golden hair 

Sunshine came along with thee 

And swallows in the air 

Aura Lea! 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 Lea 

Is sunshine through the heart 

Aura Lea, Aura Lea 

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 Lea, Aura Lea 

Take my golden ring 

Love and light return with thee 

And swallows with the spring 

Aura Lea, Aura Lea 

Maid with golden hair 

Sunshine came along with thee 

And swallows in the air
