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.
