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 fathers 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

Shed left me for another, its 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
