George R. Poulton
Written in B♭ major, range F4 to E♭5
An American love song: a blackbird sings under a willow tree in spring, and its whole song is about Aura Lee, the girl with golden hair. George R. Poulton published the tune in 1861; almost a hundred years later, Elvis sang it as “Love Me Tender”.
