[Chorus] Oh love is teasin and love is pleasin And loves a pleasure when first it is new But as love grows older, it still grows colder And fades away like the mornin dew [Verse 1] Come all ye fair maids, now take a warnin Dont ever heed what a young man will say Hes like a star on a foggy mornin When you think hes near, he is far away [Verse 2] I left my father, I left my mother I left my brothers and my sisters too I left my home and my fond dwelling My young man, for the sake of you [Chorus] Oh love is teasin and love is pleasin And loves a pleasure when first it is new But as love grows older, it still grows colder And fades away like the mornin dew
