      In her blush, the rose was born 'twas music when she spoke,

       in her eyes the light of morn sparkling seemed to break.

       Aura Lee, Aura Lee, ...

       Take my heart and take my ring I give my all to thee

       take me for eternity dearest Aura Lee!

       Aura Lee, Aura Lee ...

       When the mistletoe was green, midst the winter's snows,

       sunshine in thy face was seen, Kissing lips of rose.

       Aura Lee, Aura Lee, ...

      Chorus:

       Only say that you'll be mine - in our home we'll happy be,

       down beside where the waters low - on the banks of the Ohio.

       I held a knife against her breast - as into my arms she pressed,

       she said Willie, don't you murder me - I'm unprepared for eternity.

       Chorus

       I took her by her lily white hand - and dragged her down that bank of sand,

       there I throwed her in to drown - I watched her as she loated down.

       Chorus

       Was walking home tween twelve and one - thinkin' of what I had done,

       I killed a girl, my love you see - because she would not marry me.

       Chorus

       Very next morn about half past four - the sherif came knocked at my door,

       he said now young man come now and go - down to the Banks of the Ohio.

       Chorus
