Love Me Tender "Aura Lee" (also known as "Aura Lea") 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 sung to the same tune as "Aura Lee". A later Presley recording for the film The Trouble with Girls entitled "Violet (Flower of N.Y.U.)" also used the melody of "Aura Lee". There is also a marching band version of "Aura Lee" called "Army Blue". Aura Lee was memorably sung by Frances Farmer and a male chorus in 1936's Come and Get It (film), based on Edna Ferber's novel.
