Paragraph Lyric
Oh love is teasing and love is pleasing
and love's a treasure when first it's new,
but as love grows older, at length grows colder
and fades away like the morning dew.

I left my mother and I left my father
I left my brothers and my sisters too.
I left my home and my fond relations
I left them all for the love of you.

Now if I had known before I courted
that love would be so hard to hold
I'd have locked my heart in a box of silver
and bound it fast with a key of gold.

Oh love is teasing and love is pleasing
and love's a treasure when first it's new,
but as love grows older, at length grows colder
and fades away like the morning dew.
Oh love is teasing and love is pleasing   and love's a treasure when first it's new,   but as love grows older, at length grows colder   and fades away like the morning dew.      I left my mother and I left my father   I left my brothers and my sisters too.   I left my home and my fond relations   I left them all for the love of you.      Now if I had known before I courted   that love would be so hard to hold   I'd have locked my heart in a box of silver   and bound it fast with a key of gold.       Oh love is teasing and love is pleasing   and love's a treasure when first it's new,   but as love grows older, at length grows colder   and fades away like the morning dew.
