Isle of Capri - Fats Domino

Twas on the Isle of Capri

That I found her

Beneath the shade

Of an old walnut tree

Oh, I can still see

The flowers blooming around her

Where we met

On the Isle of Capri

She was as sweet

As the rose of the dawning

But somehow Fate

Hadn’t meant her for me

And though I sailed

With the tide in the dawning,

Still my heart’s

On the Isle of Capri

Summertime was nearly over

Blue Italian skies above

I said, lady, I’m a rover

Can you spare

A sweet word of love?

She whispered softly

It’s best not to linger

Then as I kissed

Her hand I could see

She wore a plain golden ring

On her finger

So goodbye

To the Isle of Capri
