When the blackbird in the spring

On 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

Aura Lea Aura Lea

Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swallows in the air

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

Aura Lea Aura Lea

Take my golden ring

Love and light return with thee

And swallows with the spring
