[00:07.020]When I was just a lad of ten
[00:09.480]My father said to me
[00:13.040]Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree
[00:16.960]Don't put your faith in love my boy
[00:20.830]My father said to me
[00:23.430]I fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree
[00:32.570]Lemon tree very pretty
[00:34.470]And the lemon flower is sweet
[00:36.910]But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
[00:42.310]Lemon tree very pretty
[00:45.400]And the lemon flower is sweet
[00:48.610]But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
[00:55.890]One day beneath the lemon tree my love and I did lie
[01:01.749]A girl so sweet that when she smiled the stars rose in the sky
[01:07.388]We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree
[01:12.760]The music of her laughter hid my father's words from me
[01:20.459]Lemon tree very pretty
[01:24.230]And the lemon flower is sweet
[01:27.108]But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
[01:32.700]Lemon tree very pretty
[01:35.769]And the lemon flower is sweet
[01:38.599]But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
[01:47.489]One day she left without a word
[01:50.780]She took away the sun
[01:52.680]And in the dark she'd left behind
[01:55.218]I knew what she had done
[01:57.819]She'd left me for another
[02:00.200]It's a common tale but true
[02:03.450]A sadder man but wiser now
[02:07.260]I sing these words to you
[02:14.060]Lemon tree very pretty
[02:15.838]And the lemon flower is sweet
[02:19.119]But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
[02:24.799]Lemon tree very pretty
[02:27.379]And the lemon flower is sweet
[02:30.619]But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
