Lemon Tree

Lemon Tree - The Troubador Singers

When I was just a little boy

My father said to me

Come here and take a lesson

From the lovely lemon tree

Don't put your trust 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

Beneath that Lemon Tree one day

My love and I did lie

A girl so sweet that

When she smiled

The starts 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 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 song 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
