柠檬树 - 庄鲁迅
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 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
One day Beneath the lemon tree
And I love 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 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
Shed left me for another
Its a common tale but true
A sadder man but wiser
Now I sing these songs 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
