Trini's Lemon Tree
You played a small part in “The Dirty Dozen”.
However, I never saw you in a movie again.
You had some more success in the recording studio.
There are a couple of hit songs I am happy to know.
Those are, “If I Had a Hammer”, and “Lemon Tree”.
Both songs have pleasant lyrics and melody.
Years later, those tunes still appeal to me.
Well, I can relate to your song “Lemon Tree”.
A sad episode recently happened to me.
What I went through bears strong similarity.
I met a woman I mistakenly thought was true.
Suddenly she absconded and bid me adieu.
Well Trini, I have a good idea how you feel.
My similar experience unfortunately was real.
