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.”

chorus:
lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet,
but the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.
lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet,
but the fruit of the 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 p-ssed that summer lost in love, beneath the lemon
tree,
the music of her laughter hid my father’s words from
me.

chorus

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 left me for another, it’s a common tale but true,
a sadder man, but wiser now, i sing these words to you.

chorus
