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 flow'rs 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 sailed 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 o'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



<instrumental-horns with mandolin>



Summertime was nearly over

Blue italian sky above

I said "lady, i'm a rover,

Can you spare a fine word o'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
