[00:00.00]Lemon Tree - Les Paul and Mary Ford
[00:07.04]When I was just a lad of ten
[00:09.91]My father said to me
[00:12.54]Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree
[00:18.28]Don't put your faith inlove my boy my father said to me
[00:23.51]I fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree
[00:30.26]Lemon tree very pretty
[00:34.71]And the lemon flower is sweet
[00:37.40]But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
[00:43.01]Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
[00:48.81]But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
[00:56.27]One day beneath the lemon tree
[00:59.94]My love and I did lie
[01:02.27]A girl so sweet that when
[01:04.37]She smiled the stars rose in the sky
[01:07.78]We passed that summer lost inlove beneath the lemon tree
[01:13.50]The music of her laughter
[01:16.50]Hid my father's words from me
[01:20.53]Lemon tree very pretty
[01:25.03]And the lemon flower is sweet
[01:27.82]But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
[01:33.58]Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
[01:39.39]But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
[01:47.14]One day she left
[01:48.80]Without a word
[01:50.37]She took away the sun
[01:52.98]And in the dark she left
[01:55.12]Behind I knew what she had done
[01:58.61]She left me for another
[02:01.57]It's a common tale but true
[02:04.61]A sadder man but wiser now I sing these words to you
[02:12.72]Lemon tree very pretty
[02:17.22]And the lemon flower is sweet
[02:19.96]But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
[02:25.83]Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
[02:31.66]But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
