O, love is teasin' and love is pleasin'
Love's a treasure when first it is new
But as love grows older, it still grows colder
And fades away like the morning dew
Come all you fair maids, now take a warnin'
Don't ever heed what a young man say
He's like a star on some foggy mornin'
When you think he's near, he is far away
I left my father, I left my mother
I left my brothers and sisters too
I left my home and my fond dwellin'
My young man, for the sake of you
O, love is teasin' and 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
Love's a treasure when first it is new
But as love grows older, it still grows colder
And fades away like the morning dew
Come all you fair maids, now take a warnin'
Don't ever heed what a young man say
He's like a star on some foggy mornin'
When you think he's near, he is far away
I left my father, I left my mother
I left my brothers and sisters too
I left my home and my fond dwellin'
My young man, for the sake of you
O, love is teasin' and 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
