Testo di Love Is Pleasing

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain I wish I was a youth again But a youth again I can never be Till apples grow on an ivy tree I left me father, I left me mother I left all my sisters and brothers too I left all my friends and my own religion I left them all for to follow you And love is pleasin' and love is teasin' And love is a pleasure when first it's new But as it grows older sure the love grows colder And it fades away like the morning dew And the sweetest apple is the soonest rotten And the hottest love is the soonest cold And what can't be cured love must be endured love But my own true love I will ne'er more behold For love and porter makes a young man older And love and whiskey makes him old and grey And what can't be cured love must be endured love And now I am bound for Americay Oh, love is pleasin' and love is teasin' And love is a pleasure when first it's new But as it grows older sure the love grows colder And it fades away like the morning dew
