Intro :
T was o n the Isle of Capri that I f ound h er
Benea th the shad e of an ol d walnut tr ee;
Oh I can st ill see the f low'rs bloomin' ro und her
W here we m et on the Is le of Capr i.
S he wa s as sweet as a ros e at the dawnin g
But so mehow fa te hadn't m eant her for m e;
And though I sa iled with the t ide in the mo rning
S till my h eart's on the I sle of Cap ri.
S ummertime was near ly over bl ue Ita lian sky above ;
I said "Lady I'm a rover c an you spare a sweet word of l ove?"
S he wh ispered sof tly "It' s best no t to linger. "
And th en as I kis sed her h and I could s ee
She wore a love ly meatball on her f inger
