Other popular British recordings were by Ray Noble and his Orchestra with vocal by Al Bowlly on August 30, 1934 and by Gracie Fields on October 9, 1934.

The first US hit version of the song was by Freddy Martin's orchestra with vocal by Elmer Feldkamp recorded on December 3, 1934; hit versions were recorded by Jackie Lee in 1954 and by The Gaylords in 1955.

Frank Sinatra - Isle Of Capri Lyrics

It 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

Zachary, I really enjoyed this song. Although I must say, I liked your Winter song better. But this one is really great too! Like everyone already said, the instrumentation is fantastic. Very well done. However, I have to disagree on this part, your vocals aren't weak. I don't think they're weak. I think your voice is unique and maybe not fully matured (singing wise), but they're not weak. You really put your voice out there in this song, and I think that's rather the opposite of weak. The guitars are really great, along with the percussion :) I think you did a great job on this. This song has everything if you really think about it. It really does. It even builds up. and I love the sort of abrupt ending, I thought that was a very nice touch to the song. As for the lyrics, I think you did fantastic on them. I like them a lot. All of them! Especially "I'll be your cigarette and you can be my only need". That's a great line. You even rhymed! And guess what? It doesn't sound shitty! It sounds great! So for that, I applaud you dear friend :) Well done! <3 -Abster
