Lemon Tree - The Crescendos

作词：W. Holt

作曲：W. Holt

When I was just a girl of ten

My mother said to me

Come here and take a lesson from

The lovely lemon tree

Don't put your faith in love my girl

My mother 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 nice that

When he 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 mother'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 wist of my dispend

I knew what

He had done

It left me for another

It's a common tale but true

A sadder man but wiser now

I sing these words 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
