Isle Of Capri

'Twas 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 Capri.
She was as sweet
As the rose of the dawning,
But somehow Fate
Hadn't meant her for me,
And tho' I sailed
With the tide in the dawning,
Still my heart's
On the Isle of Capri.
Summertime was nearly over,
Blue Italian skies 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,
Then as I kissed
Her hand I could see
She wore a plain golden ring
On her finger,
So good-bye
To the Isle of Capri.

The flowers blooming 'round her,
Where we met
