Lemon Tree

In the style of

Peter, Paul & Mary

Lyrics

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 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

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 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

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

lemon tree
lemon tree
lemon tree
lemon tree
