When I was
| just a little boy
| My father said to me
| come here and learn a
| Lesson from the
| lovely lemon tree
| My son
| it's most important
| My father said to me
| to put your faith in
| What you feel and
| not in what you see
| Lemon tree
| very pretty and the
| Lemon flower is sweet
| but the fruit of the
| Poor lemon is a
| thing one cannot eat
| Lemon tree
| very pretty and the
| Lemon flower is sweet
| but the fruit of the
| Poor lemon is a
| thing one cannot eat
| Beneath
| that lemon tree
| One day
| my love and I did lie
| A girl so sweet
| that when she smiled
| The sun rose
| in the sky
| We passed the 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
| poor lemon is a
| Thing one cannot eat
| lemon tree
| Very pretty and the
| lemon flower is sweet
| But the fruit of the
| poor lemon is a
| Thing one
| cannot 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 words
| to you
| Lemon tree
| very pretty and the
| Lemon flower is sweet
| but the fruit of the
| Poor lemon is a
| thing one cannot eat
| Lemon tree
| very pretty and the
| Lemon flower
| is sweet
| But the fruit
| of the poor lemon is a
| Thing one
| cannot eat~
