[00:18.13]"Don't put your faith in love, my boy," my father said to me,
[00:23.95]"I fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree."
[00:30.15]
[00:31.12]Chorus:
[00:31.63]Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet,
[00:37.70]But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.
[00:43.27]Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet,
[00:49.12]But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.
[00:54.31]
[01:08.51]We passed that summer lost in love, beneath the lemon tree,
[01:14.42]The music of her laughter hid my father's words from me.
[01:20.92]
[01:21.62]Chorus
[01:23.38]
[01:59.81]She left me for another, it's a common tale but true,
[02:04.77]A sadder man, but wiser now, I sing these words to you.
[02:12.76]
[02:13.46]Chorus
[02:14.51]
[02:39.82]Lemon tree Lemon tree
[02:50.97]Lemon tree Lemon tree
