Lemon Tree lyrics

When I was just a girl, my momma said to me Come here and learn and listen from the lemon tree Don't put your faith in love, you'll see It's like the lemon tree Beneath the lemon tree my love and I did lie It was a love so sweet, it left us high We passed up all our time without a summer care And in the heat I forgot all my momma said Don't put your faith in love, you'll see It's like the lemon tree Lemon tree, very pretty And the lemon fire is sweet But the fruit of the lemon Is impossible to eat One day I woke up 'long the road, it was without the sun I looked for my love, and he was gone But don't put your faith in love, you'll see It's like the lemon tree
