Tim O'brien - Love Is Pleasing lyrics

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 k**in crime I'd have wrapped my heart in a box of gold And tied it up with a piece of twine
