1. Strophe:
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'll fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree.
Refrain:
Lemon tree very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet,
The music of her laughter hid my father's words from me.
Refrain
3. Strophe:
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 left me for another it's a common tale, but true,
A sadder man, but wiser now I sing these words to you.
Refrain

Refrain
If you miss the train I m on you will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles a hundr...
1 All my bags are packed I m ready to go I m standing here outside your door I hate to wake you up...
