Bobby Bare - Lemon Tree 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 fate 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's sweet But the fruit of the poor lemon is impssible to eat Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower's sweet But the fruit of the poor lemon is impssible to eat One day beneath the lemon tree my love and I did lie A girl so sweet that when she smiles the star grows in the sky We pa**ed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree The music of her laughter hit my father's words for me Lemon tree very pretty... Lemon tree very pretty...
