The Dubliners "Love is pleasing" lyrics

Love is pleasing

I wish, I wish, I wish in vainI wish I was a youth againBut a youth again I can never beTill apples grow on an ivy tree

I left me father, I left me motherI left all my sisters and brothers tooI left all my friends and me own religionI left them all for to follow you

But the sweetest apple is the soonest rottenAnd the hottest love is the soonest coldAnd what can't be cured love has to be endured loveAnd now I am bound for America

Oh love is pleasin' and love is teasin'And love is a pleasure when first it's newBut as it grows older sure the love grows colderAnd it fades away like the morning dew

And love and porter makes a young man olderAnd love and whiskey makes him old and greyAnd what can't be cured love has to be endured loveAnd now I am bound for America
