DWhen the blackbird E7in the spring, A7'neath the willow Dtree
Sat and rocked, I E7heard him sing, E7singing Aura DLea!
DAura F#Lea!, BmAura D7Lea!
GMaid with Gmgolden Dhair
Am6Sunshine B+came B7aE7long with thee
And A4swalA7lows in the Dair
In thy blush the rose was born, music when you spake.
In thine azure eye the morn sparkling, seemed to break.
Aura Lea!, Aura Lea!
Take my golden ring
Love and life return with thee
And swallows in the Spring
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
When the mistletoe was green - midst the winter's snows
Sunshine in thy face was seen - kissing lips of rose
