| 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." | |
| 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. | |
| beneath the lemon tree One day | |
| my love and I did lie, | |
| A girl so sweet that when she smiled, | |
| the stars rose in the sky. | |
| We passed that summer lost in love, | |
| beneath the lemon tree, | |
| The music of her laughter hid | |
| my father's words from me. | |
| 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 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 songs for you. | |
| 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. | |
| Lemon tree, very pretty, | |
| and the lemon flower is sweet, | |
| But the fruit of the lemon | |
| is impossible to eat. |
