'twas on the Isle of Capri that I found you 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 am 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 'twas goodbye at the Villa Capri
