Sandie Shaw - Lemon Tree

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 trust 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 he smiled

All the stars rose in the sky

We passed the summer lost in love

Beneath the lemon tree

The music of his laughter hid

My mama'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 done done

He 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
