Aura Lea Tabulatur von Traditional American (für Baryton)

G                A
As the blackbird in the spring,
 D7               G
'neath the willow tree,
                 A
Sat and piped, I heard him
      D            G
sing; sing of Aura Lea.
G    B7   Em   G7   C
Aura Lea, Aura Lea, maid with
Cm     G
golden hair,
         E7      A
Sunshine came along with thee,
    D               G
and swallows in the air.


G                A
In thy blush the rose was born,
D7             G
music when you spake.
                    A     
Through thine azure eye, the
      D                   G
morn, sparkling seemed to break.
G    B7   Em   G7   C
Aura Lea, Aura Lea, birds of
C       G
crimson wing
        E7        A
Ne'er a song have sung to me
D                G
As in that sweet spring.


G             A
Aura Lee, the bird may flee,
    D7              G
The willow's golden hair
                     A
Swing through winter fitfully,
D             G
on the stormy air.
G      B7       Em     G7
Yet if thy blue eyes I see,
C          Cm       G
gloom will soon depart.
       E7       A7
For to me sweet Aura Lea
   D                    G
Is sunshine through the heart.


G              A
When the mistletoe was green,
D7                 G
midst the winter's snows
                A
Sunshine in thy face was seen
D               G
kissing lips of rose.
G    B7   Em   G7   C
Aura Lea, Aura Lea, take my
Cm     G
golden ring.
         E7       A
Love and light return with thee, 
   D                 G
as swallows with the spring.
