Lemon Tree
When I was just a lad of ten,My father said to meCome here and take a lesson fromThe lovely lemon tree
Don't put your faith in love, my boy,My father said to meI fear you'll find that love is likeThe lovely lemon tree
(REF)(2x)Lemon tree, very pretty,And the lemon flower is sweetBut the fruit of the poor lemonIs impossible to eat
One day beneath the lemon tree,My love and I did lieA girl so sweet that when she smiled,The stars rose in the sky
We past that summer lost in loveBeneath the lemon treeThe music of her laughter hidMy fathers word from me
(REF)(2x)
One day she left without a word,She took away the sunAnd in the dark she left behindI knew what she had done
She left me for another,It's a common tale but trueA sadder man, but wiser, nowI sing these words to you
(REF)(2x)
