Isle of Capri

't was on the Isle of Capri that I found her

Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree

Oh, I can still see the flowers blooming round her

Where we met on the Isle of CapriShe was as sweet as a rose at the dawning

But somehow fate hadn't meant her for me

And though I sailed with the tide in the morning

Still my heart's on the Isle of CapriSummertime 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

't was goodbye at the villa CapriSummertime 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

't was goodbye on the Isle of Capri

't was goodbye on the Isle of Capri

't was goodbye on the Isle of Capri
