Love Is Pleasing

Oh love is pleasin, love is teasin

And love's a pleasure when first it's new

But as love grows older, at length grows colder

And fades away like the mornin dew



I left my father, I left my mother

I left my brother and sister too

I left my home and kind relations

I left them all for the love of you



If I had known before I courted

That love was such a killin crime

I'd have wrapped my heart in a box of gold

And tied it up with a piece of twine
