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 be
You 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 shoes
A 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 go
Let 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

GOODTIME HONKY TONK

Just a little past the county line
Where the kudzu’s growin’ up the cross road sign

Sun’s sinkin’ thru the pine
You’ll find the goodtime honky tonk

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

Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a cold one
Lose your troubles
An’ have some fun
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a partner
Try to hang on
To an old George Strait song
At the goodtime Honky Tonk

VERSE
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

VERSE
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
