Lemon Tree Lyrics

Lemon Tree lyrics

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 fate 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's sweet

But the fruit of the poor lemon is impssible to eat

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower's sweet

But the fruit of the poor lemon is impssible to eat



One day beneath the lemon tree my love and I did lie

A girl so sweet that when she smiles the star grows in the sky

We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree

The music of her laughter hit my father's words for me

Lemon tree very pretty...

Lemon tree very pretty...
