Lyrics

Oh, love is teasin’
Love is pleasin’
And love's a pleasure, when first it is new
But as love grows older, it still grows colder
And fades away like the morning dew

I left my father, I left my mother
I left my brothers and sisters too
I left my home and my fond weather
My young men, all for the sake of you

Oh, love is teasin’
Love is pleasin’
And love's a pleasure, when first it is new
But as love grows older, it still grows colder
And fades away like the morning dew

Come all ye fair maids, take warning
Don't ever heed what a young man say
He's like a star on a soggy morning
When you think he's near, he is far away

Oh, love is teasin’
Love is pleasin’
And love's a pleasure, when first it is new
But as love grows older, it still grows colder
And fades away like the morning dew
