Artist : Peter, paul & mary
Song : Lemon tree
When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to
me,
"come here and learn 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.
Beneath the lemon tree one day, my love and I did
a lie
A girl so sweet that when she smiled the sun 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 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.
