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~
