[Chorus]Love[C] is teasing and[Em] love is[G7] pleasing
And love is a pleasure when[F] first it's[C] new
But as love grows older sure[Em] love grows[G] colder
And fades away like the[F] morning[C] dew
 
I left my father I left my mother
I left brothers and sisters too
I left all my friends and my own relations
I left them all for to follow you
 
And love and porter make a young man older
And love and whiskey make a young man grey
What cannot be cured love must be endured love
And now I am bound for America
 
The sweetest apple is soonest rotten
The hottest love is the soonest cold
What cannot be cured love must be endured love
And now I am bound for America
 
I wish I wish , I wish in vain
I wish that I was a maid again
But a maid again I can never be
'Till apples grow on an ivy tree.

Love Is Teasing

(Traditional Irish Folk Song)

[Verse 1]
Love [C]is teasing, and [Em]love is [G7]pleasing,
And love is a pleasure when [F]first it’s [C]new;
But as love grows older, sure [Em]love grows [G]colder,
And fades away like the [F]morning [C]dew.

[Verse 2]
I [C]left my father, I [Em]left my [G7]mother,
I left brothers and sisters [F]too;
I [C]left all my friends and my [Em]own re[G]lations,
I left them all for to [F]follow [C]you.

[Verse 3]
And [C]love and porter make a [Em]young man [G7]older,
And love and whiskey make a [F]young man [C]grey;
What [C]cannot be cured, love, must [Em]be en[G]dured, love,
And now I am bound for [F]Ameri[C]ca.

[Verse 4]
The [C]sweetest apple is [Em]soonest [G7]rotten,
The hottest love is the [F]soonest [C]cold;
What [C]cannot be cured, love, must [Em]be en[G]dured, love,
And now I am bound for [F]Ameri[C]ca.

[Verse 5]
I [C]wish, I wish, I [Em]wish in [G7]vain,
I wish that I was a [F]maid a[C]gain;
But a [C]maid again I can [Em]never [G]be,
'Till apples grow on an [F]ivy [C]tree.
