When I was just a lad of ten My father said to me "Come on and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree" "Don't put your trust 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 that lemon tree one day my love and I did lie A girl so sweet that when smiled The stars rose in the sky We passed off summer lost in love Beneath the lemon tree The music of her laughter hid my father's voice 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 wothout a word She took away the sun And in the dark she left behind I knew what she had done She left me for another It's a common tale but true A sadder tale, but wiser now I sing this song 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 Lemon tree, very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
