"Country" theme is fantastic!

Dear friends and partners,
I published the videos of some songs which are traditional American folk songs. I don't know if you will like them but think that they can be useful in our work with children. Another song named "Aura Lea" is great and suitable for kids. I'd like to share valuable information about it:
"Aura Lea" (also known as "Aura Lee") is an American Civil War song about a maiden. It was written by W. W. Fosdick (words) and George R. Poulton (music).
The Elvis Presley song "Love Me Tender" (lyric by Ken Darby) is a derivative adaptation of this song.
Here is the video and the text of the song.
Hope that you will like it!
Kind regards, Reny


When the blackbird in the Spring,
'Neath the willow tree,
Sat and rock'd, I heard him sing,
Singing Aura Lea.
Aura Lea, Aura Lea,
Maid with golden hair;
Sunshine came along with thee,
And swallows in the air.
Chorus:
Aura Lea, Aura Lea,
Maid with golden hair;
Sunshine came along with thee,
And swallows in the air...

Love me tender,
love me sweet,
never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
and I love you so.

Love me tender,
love me true,
all my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
and I always will...
