'Twas on the isle of capri

That I found her

Beneath the shade

Of an old walnut tree

She was as sweet

And 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

'Twas on the isle of capri

That I found her

Beneath the shade

Of an old walnut tree

She was as sweet

And the flowers blooming 'round her

Where we met

On the isle of capri
