[00:07.050]When I was just a lad of ten
[00:10.390]My father said to me;
[00:13.070]Come here and learn a lesson
[00:15.180]From the lovely lemon tree:
[00:18.520]Don't put your faith in love, my boy
[00:21.260]My father said to me,
[00:24.170]I fear you'll find that love Is like
[00:26.890]The lovely lemon tree.
[00:30.670]
[00:30.950]Lemon tree very pretty
[00:34.070]And the lemon flower is sweet
[00:36.860]But the fruit of the poor lemon
[00:39.680]Is impossible to eat.
[00:42.740]
[00:43.060]Lemon tree very pretty
[00:45.740]And the lemon flower is sweet
[00:48.770]But the fruit of the poor lemon
[00:51.640]Is impossible to eat.
[00:55.230]
[00:57.300]Beneath the lemon tree, one day
[00:59.850]My love and I did lie,
[01:02.950]A girl so sweet that when she smiled
[01:05.790]The sun rose in the sky.
[01:08.430]
[01:08.900]We passed the summer
[01:10.350]Lost in love beneath the lemon tree,
[01:14.390]The music of her laughter
[01:16.520]Hid my fathers words from me.
[01:20.570]
[01:20.980]Lemon tree very pretty
[01:24.250]And the lemon flower is sweet
[01:27.090]But the fruit of the poor lemon
[01:30.110]Is impossible to eat.
[01:32.890]
[01:33.210]Lemon tree very pretty
[01:36.010]And the lemon flower is sweet
[01:38.910]But the fruit of the poor lemon
[01:41.730]Is impossible to eat.
[01:45.000]
[01:45.930]One day she left without a word
[01:50.630]She took away the sun
[01:53.270]And in the dark she left behind
[01:55.890]I knew what she had done.
[01:58.910]
[01:59.150]She left me for another,
[02:01.230]It's a common tale but true.
[02:04.280]A sadder man but wiser now
[02:07.560]I sing these words to you.
[02:11.480]
[02:11.760]Lemon tree very pretty
[02:14.660]And the lemon flower is sweet
[02:17.610]But the fruit of the poor lemon
[02:20.630]Is impossible to eat.
[02:23.390]Lemon tree very pretty
[02:23.460]
[02:26.820]And the lemon flower is sweet
[02:29.380]But the fruit of the poor lemon
[02:32.510]Is impossible to eat.
