Burl Ives

Burl Icle Ivanhoe Ives (June 14, 1909 - April 14, 1995) was an American actor, writer and folk music singer. As an actor, Ives's work included comedies, dramas, and voice work in theater, television, and motion pictures. Music critic John Rockwell said, "Ives's voice ... had the sheen and finesse of opera without its latter-day Puccinian vulgarities and without the pretensions of operatic ritual. It was genteel in expressive impact without being genteel in social conformity. And it moved people." more »

""1. As the blackbird in the spring 'neath the willow tree  sat and piped I heard him sing praising Aura Lee. Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair  sunshine came along with thee and swall-ows in the air.  2. Take my heart and take my ring I give my all to thee  take me for eternity dearest Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Aura Lee . . .  3. 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 . . .  4. Aura Lee the bird may flee the willow' golden hair  then the wintry winds may be blowing ev'rywhere. Yet if thy blue eyes I see gloom will soon depart  for to me sweet Aura Lee is sunshine to the heart.""
