ISLE OF CAPRI
Lyric by Jimmy Kennedy
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
Verse 1
‘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 BLOOMING ‘ROUND HER,
WHERE WE MET ON THE ISLE OF CAPRI,
Verse 2
SHE WAS AS SWEET AS A ROSE AT THE DAWNING,
BUT, SOMEHOW, FATE HADN’T MEANT HER FOR ME,
AND THO’ I SAILED WITH THE TIDE IN THE MORNING,
STILL MY HEART’S ON THE ISLE OF CAPRI,
Bridge
SUMMERTIME WAS NEARLY OVER,
BLUE ITALIAN SKY ABOVE,
I SAID “LADY, I’M A ROVER,
“CAN YOU SPARE A SWEET WORD OF LOVE?”
Verse 3
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.
(Repeat Entire Chorus)
