When I was
just a lad of ten
my father said to me
Come here and take
a lesson from
the lovely Lemon Tree
Don't put your faith
in love my boy
my father said to me
I fear you'll find
that love is
like the lovely
Lemon Tree
Lemon Tree very pretty
and the lemon flower
is sweet
But the fruit
of the poor
lemon is impossible
to eat
Lemon Tree very pretty
and the lemon flower
is sweet
But the fruit
of the poor
lemon is impossible
to eat
One day beneath
the Lemon Tree
my love and I did lie
A girl so sweet that
when she smiled
the stars rose
in the sky
We passed that
summer lost in love
beneath the Lemon Tree
The music
of her laughter
hid my father's words
from me
Lemon Tree very pretty
and the lemon flower
is sweet
But the fruit
of the poor
lemon is impossible
to eat
Lemon Tree very pretty
and the lemon flower
is sweet
But the fruit
of the poor
lemon is impossible
to eat
One day she left
without a word
She took away the sun
And in the dark
she'd left behind
I knew
what she had done
She'd left me
for another
It's a common
tale but true
A sadder man
but wiser now
I sing these words
to you
Lemon Tree very pretty
and the lemon flower
is sweet
But the fruit
of the poor
lemon is impossible
to eat
Lemon Tree very pretty
and the lemon flower
is sweet
But the fruit
of the poor
lemon is impossible
to eat
