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

Was goodbye at the villa Capri
