Lemon Tree Peter, Pul, and Mary
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 smiles,
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.
(*Repeat)
One day she left without a word
She took away the sun
And in the dark she'd left behind
I knew what she had done.
She'd left me for another
It's a common tale but true.
A sadder man but wiser now
I sing these words to you.
(*Repeat)
Lemon tree (Repeat)
