[Verse 1]

When the blackbird in the Spring

'Neath the willow tree

Sat and rocked, I heard him sing

Singing Aura Lea!

Aura Lea!, Aura Lea!

Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swallows in the air

[Chorus]

Aura Lea!, Aura Lea!

Maid with golden hair

Aura Lea!, Aura Lea!

Maid with golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swallows in the air

Sunshine came along with thee

And swallows in the air

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Aura Lea!, Aura Lea!

Maid with golden hair

Aura Lea!, Aura Lea!

Maid with golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swallows in the air

Sunshine came along with thee

And swallows in the air

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

Aura Lea!, Aura Lea!

Maid with golden hair

Aura Lea!, Aura Lea!

Maid with golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swallows in the air

Sunshine came along with thee

And swallows in the air

[Verse 4]

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

[Chorus]

Aura Lea!, Aura Lea!

Maid with golden hair

Aura Lea!, Aura Lea!

Maid with golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swallows in the air

Sunshine came along with thee

And swallows in the air
