[00:01.01]Peter Paul and Mary------Lemon tree
[00:03.03]by Sailor
[00:06.47]When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me,
[00:12.12]"Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree."
[00:17.41]"Don't put your faith in love, my boy", my father said to me,
[00:23.01]"I fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree."
[00:30.01]Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
[00:36.41]but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
[00:42.11]Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
[00:48.01]but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
[00:55.51]One day beneath the lemon tree, my love and I did lie
[01:02.01]A girl so sweet that when she smiled the stars rose in the sky.
[01:07.01]We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree
[01:13.01]the music of her laughter hid my father's words from me:
[01:20.01]Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
[01:27.01]but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
[01:33.01]Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
[01:39.01]but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
[01:46.01]One day she left without a word. She took away the sun.
[01:52.01]And in the dark she left behind, I knew what she had done.
[01:58.01]She'd left me for another, it's a common tale but true.
[02:04.01]A sadder man but wiser now I sing these words to you:
[02:12.01]Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
[02:19.01]but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
[02:25.01]Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
[02:31.01]but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
