Verse 1
As the blackbird in the spring
'neath the willow tree
Sat and piped I heard him sing

Praising Aura Lee.

Chorus
Aura Lea! Aura Lea! Maid of golden hair
Sunshine came along with thee
And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 2
Take my heart and take my ring
I give my all to thee
Take me for eternity
Dearest Aura Lee!

Chorus
Aura Lea! Aura Lea! Maid of golden hair
Sunshine came along with thee
And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 3
In her blush the rose was born
'twas music when she spoke
In her eyes the light of morn
Sparkling seemed to break.

Chorus
Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair
Sunshine came along with thee
And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 4
Aura Lee the bird may flee
The willow' golden hair
Then the wintry winds may be
Blowing ev'rywhere.

Chorus
Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair
Sunshine came along with thee
And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 5
Yet if thy blue eyes I see
Gloom will soon depart
For to me sweet Aura Lee
Is sunshine to the heart.

Chorus
Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair
Sunshine came along with thee
And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 1

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright world to which I go.

Chorus
I'm going there to meet my Father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home.

Verse 2

I know dark clouds
Will gather round me
I know my way
Is rough and steep
Yet beautiful fields
Lie just before me
Where god’s redeemed their vigils keep

Chorus

I'm going there to meet my mother

She said she’d meet me

When I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home.
I'm only going over home

Verse 1

Well, I’m going down to the St. James Infirmary,
to see my baby there

She was all stretched out,
on a long white table
So sweet, so cold, so bare

Verse 2

Let her go, go !
Ahh, my little Baby, Where ever she can beYou may search this whole world all over
But she’d never find a sweet man like me

Verse 3

Now, when I die, bury me in Stetson shoesA Stetson coat, and a Stetson hat
And put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the cats know, that I died fat
Ad Lib

St. James Infirmary, where can my baby be ?
It’s just at St. James Infirmary, yeah
Let my baby go, let my baby goLet my Baby go, go, go
Let my Baby go !

You keep on looking,

you look to your right
You look to the left,
there's always a fight
I tried to look up,

but the sky wasn't clear
To hell with it all, I'm going and drink me some beer

Don't you know ,got these old searching blues
Don't know which way to turn, just to find my way back to you

I walked down the street, to find an old friend
Made a wrong turn,had to come back again
I went to find my lady, in front of her door
She said "Who are you?" cause you don't live here no more

Don't you know,got these old searching blues
Don't know which way to turn,just to find my way back to you

TRADUCTION :

Tu cherches, à droite, à gauche, tout n'est que lutte
J'ai levé la tête, même le ciel était sombre
Au diable tout ça, je vais me boire une bière

Tu sais, je cherche et j'ai le Blues
Je ne sais pas par où aller, retrouver le chemin qui mène à toi

Je marche dans les rues pour retrouver un ami,
Je me suis trompé, je retourne sur mes pas
J'ai retrouvé ma copine sur le pas de sa porte
Qui me dit "t'es qui ? car tu n'es pas d'ici

Where the kudzu’s growin’ up the cross road sign

Sun’s sinkin’ thru the pine

Blowin’ off steam at the end of the week
Yes sir, no ma’am, thank you, please
At the goodtime honky tonk

Jukebox sittin’ on the old front porch
Punch those numbers and hit the floor
We all know what we’re here for

At the goodtime Honky Tonk

None of that new country breed
Just Hank and Lefty and some Brenda Lee
Listen to Willie puff some weed
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
