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 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 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 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 

't was goodbye on the Isle of Capri

't was goodbye on the Isle of Capri

't was goodbye on the Isle of Capri
