`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 |
