Al Bowlly - Isle Of Capri video free download
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 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 plain golden ring on her finger
'twas goodbye at the Villa Capri

Great tune; written by Jimmy Kennedy, I think. Brandon Shaw sang this tune with his Quartet at the Phoenix Arts Club, London, on 30 November, as part of a tribute to Al Bowlly.11 years ago
