[00:07.902]When I was just a lad of ten
[00:10.654]My father said to me;
[00:13.661]Come here and learn a lesson
[00:16.158]From the lovely lemon tree:
[00:19.406]Don't put your faith in love, my boy
[00:22.402]My father said to me
[00:24.910]I fear you'll find that love Is like
[00:28.596]The lovely lemon tree
[00:30.847]Lemon tree very pretty
[00:34.853]And the lemon flower is sweet
[00:37.594]But the fruit of the poor lemon
[00:40.602]Is impossible to eat
[00:43.597]Lemon tree very pretty
[00:46.604]And the lemon flower is sweet
[00:49.599]But the fruit of the poor lemon
[00:52.595]Is impossible to eat
[00:57.852]Beneath the lemon tree, one day
[01:00.605]My love and I did lie
[01:03.855]A girl so sweet that when she smiled
[01:06.793]The sun rose in the sky
[01:09.542]We passed the summer
[01:11.040]Lost in love beneath the lemon tree
[01:14.987]The music of her laughter
[01:18.248]Hid my fathers words from me
[01:21.243]Lemon tree very pretty
[01:24.995]And the lemon flower is sweet
[01:27.990]But the fruit of the poor lemon
[01:30.998]Is impossible to eat
[01:33.992]Lemon tree very pretty
[01:36.988]And the lemon flower is sweet
[01:39.737]But the fruit of the poor lemon
[01:42.745]Is impossible to eat
[01:48.247]One day she left without a word
[01:51.989]She took away the sun
[01:54.113]And in the dark she left behind
[01:57.862]I knew what she had done
[01:59.870]She left me for another
[02:02.611]It's a common tale but true
[02:05.362]A sadder man but wiser now
[02:08.373]I sing these words to you
[02:11.622]Lemon tree very pretty
[02:15.373]And the lemon flower is sweet
[02:18.369]But the fruit of the poor lemon
[02:21.364]Is impossible to eat
[02:24.367]Lemon tree very pretty
[02:27.363]And the lemon flower is sweet
[02:30.374]But the fruit of the poor lemon
[02:33.369]Is impossible to eat
[02:36.618]Lemon tree... lemon tree...
[02:42.051]Lemon tree... lemon tree
[02:48.052]Lemon tree... lemon tree...
[02:51.301]Lemon tree... lemon tree
[02:54.056]Lemon tree...
