Isle of Capri

'Twas on the Isle of Capri that I found her

Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree

I can still see the flowers bloomin' round her

Where we met on the Isle of Capri

She was as sweet as a rose at the dawning

But somehow fate hadn't meant her for me

And though I sail with the tide in the morning

Still, my heart's on the Isle of Capri

Summertime was nearly over

Blue Italian sky above

I said, "Lady, I'm a rover

Can you spare a sweet word of love?"

She whispered softly, "It's best not to linger"

And then as I kissed her hand, I could see

She wore a lovely meatball on her finger

'Twas goodbye at the Villa Capri

Summertime was nearly over

Blue Italian sky above

I said, "Lady, I'm a rover

Can you spare a fine word of love?"

She whispered softly, "It's best not to linger"

And then as I kissed her hand, I could see

She wore a plain golden ring on her finger

'Twas goodbye on the Isle of Capri

'Twas goodbye on the Isle of Capri

'Twas goodbye on the Isle of Capri
