G A7 D7 G As the blackbird in the spring, 'neath the willow tree, A7 D7 G Sat and piped, I heard him sing; sing of Aura Lee. B7 Em G7 C G Aura Lee, Aura Lee, maid with golden hair E7 A7 D7 G Sunshine came along with thee, and swallows in the air. G A7 D7 G In thy blush the rose was born, music when you spake. A7 D7 G Through thine azure eye, the morn, sparkling seemed to break. B7 Em G7 C G Aura Lee, Aura Lee, birds of crimson wing E7 A7 D7 G Never song have sung to me as in that night, sweet spring. G A7 D7 G Aura Lee, the bird may flee the willow's golden hair A7 D7 G Swing through winter fitfully, on the stormy air. B7 Em G7 C G Yet if thy blue eyes I see, gloom will soon depart. E7 A7 D7 G For to me, sweet Aura Lee is sunshine through the heart. G A7 D7 G When the mistletoe was green, midst the winter's snows A7 D7 G Sunshine in thy face was seen kissing lips of rose. B7 Em G7 C G Aura Lee, Aura Lee, take my golden ring. E7 A7 Love and light return with thee, D7 G and swallows with the spring.
