When I was just a child of ten, my mama, she said to me
"Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree
Don't put your just in love, my child" my mama, she 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
Beneath that lemon tree one day, my love and I we did lie
A boy so sweet that when she smiled all the stars rose in the sky
We passed that summer lost in love, beneath the lemon tree
The music of his laughter hid my mamas'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 he left without a word, he took away all the sun
And in the dark that he left behind, I knew what he had done
She left me for another, it's a common tale but true
A sadder girl, but wiser now, I sing these song 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
