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] |

| [02:20.630] |
Is impossible to eat. |
