Lemon Tree

Lemon Tree - Peter, Paul & Mary (彼得、保罗和玛丽)

Written by：Will Holt

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 faith 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 is sweet

But the fruit of the poor

Lemon is impossible to eat

Lemon tree very pretty

And the lemon flower is sweet

But the fruit of the poor

Lemon is impossible to eat

One day beneath the

Lemon tree my love and I did lie

A girl so sweet that when

She smiled the stars rose in the sky

We passed that 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 impossible to eat

Lemon tree very pretty

And the lemon flower is sweet

But the fruit of the poor

Lemon is impossible to 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 impossible to eat

Lemon tree very pretty and the

Lemon flower is sweet

But the fruit of the poor

Lemon is impossible to eat

Lemon tree

Lemon tree

Lemon tree
