Lemon Tree Lyrics & Tabs by Chad & Jeremy
Lemon Tree
guitar chords lyrics
When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me,
Come here and learn 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.
Beneath the lemon tree one day, my love and I did a lie
A girl so sweet that when she smiled the sun rose in
The sky.
We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon
A girl so sweet that when she smiled the sun rose in
The sky.
We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon
Tree
The music of her laughter hid my fathers 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 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.
