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
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
