Lemon Tree  Folk Songs



When [D]I was j[A7]ust a l[D]ad of ten, my father s[A7]aid to [D]me,
Come here and t[A7]ake a l[D]esson from the l[A7]ovely lemon tr[D]ee.
Don't p[G]ut your f[D7]aith in l[G]ove, my boy, my father s[D7]aid to [G]me,
I fear you'll f[D7]ind that l[G]ove is like the lovely l[D7]emon t[G]ree.
CHORUS

Lemon tr[D]ee, very pretty, and the lemon flower is s[A7]weet,
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to [D]eat.
Lemon tr[D]ee, very pretty, and the lemon flower is s[A7]weet,
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to [D]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
