\'t was 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
