Aura Lee
Have you ever heard the Civil War song “Aura Lee”?
You may find the tune has some familiarity.
Remember “Love Me Tender” by the late Elvis Presley?
“Aura Lee” has the exact same melody.
Somebody in modern times had the lyrics changed.
The words to the song became rearranged.
Never known for proper grammar was the late Mr. Presley.
In good English, he should have been singing “Love Me Tenderly”.
