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.
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.
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.
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:
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of poor lemon is impossible to eat.
But the fruit of poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of 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, its a common tale but true.
A sadder man but wiser now I sing these words to you:
And in the dark she left behind, I knew what she had done.

But the fruit of poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of poor lemon is impossible to eat.

These are the lyrics of a song I learnt in Girl Guides many moons ago. I find it very touching. I’m sitting here in the verandah looking at our lemon tree and slightly glowing at the number of lemons peeking out from all the branches. I touched them today and they need to grow a lil more, before being used. We have been plucking somefor lemon juice drink every few days... and gosh on hot summery days like these, the lemon tree is most welcomed!
