[02:47.00]When I was just a lad of ten my father said to me
[02:47.00]Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree
[02:47.00]Don’t put your faith in love my boy my father said to me
[02:47.00]I fear you’ll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree
[02:47.00]Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
[02:47.00]But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
[02:47.00]Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
[02:47.00]But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
[02:47.00]One day beneath the lemon tree my love and I did lie
[02:47.00] A girl so sweet that when she smiled the stars rose in the sky
[02:47.00]We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree
[02:47.00]The music of her laughter hid my father’s words from me
[02:47.00]Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
[02:47.00]But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
[02:47.00]Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
[02:47.00]But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
[02:47.00]One day she left without a word she took away the sun
[02:47.00]And in the dark she left behind I knew what she had done
[02:47.00]She left me for another it’s a common tale but true
[02:47.00]A sadder man but wiser now I sing these words to you
[02:47.00]Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
[02:47.00]But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
[02:47.00]Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
[02:47.00]But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
[02:47.00]Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
[02:47.00]But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
