Lemon Tree
Peter Paul and Mary
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.
"I fear you'll
find
that
love
is
like
the
lovely
lemon
tree.
Chorus:
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the 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.
Chorus
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.
Chorus
From: S.Y.Lee
