LemonTree And Hummingbird
Lemon Tree" is also the title of a folk song written by Will Holt. The tune is based on the Brazilian folk song Meu limão, meu limoeiro, arranged by José Carlos Burle in 1937. I first heard it song by Harry Belafonte in the late fifties and then by Peter, Paul, and Mary. https://youtu.be/MLhYghzNfII LYRICS: 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, my love and I did lie 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…
