Love Is Pleasing - Karan Casey

I never thought my love would leave me

Until that morning when he stepped in

Well he sat down and I sat beside him

And then our troubles they did begin

Oh love is teasing and love is pleasing

And love is a pleasure when first it's new

But love grows older and love grows colder

And it fades away like the morning dew

There is an alehous in yon town

And it's there my love goes and he sits down

He takes a strange girl upon his knee

And he tells to her what he once told to me

I wish my father had never whistled

And I wish my mother had never sung

I wish the cradle had never rocked me

And I wish my life it had not begun
