Aura Lee Songtext
von Burl Ives

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
May of 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 thine eyes I see
Gloom will soon depart
For to me sweet Aura Lee
Is sunshine through the heart

When the mistletoe was green
′Midst the winter 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
