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 fate 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's
sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impssible to
eat
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower's
sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impssible to
eat
One day beneath the lemon tree my love and I did
lie
A girl so sweet that when she smiles the star
grows in the sky
We passed that summer lost in love beneath the
lemon tree
The music of her laughter hit my father's words
for me
Lemon tree very pretty...
Lemon tree very pretty...
