Isobel Campbell › Lyrics › O Love Is Teasin'

O love is teasin' and love is pleasin'
And love's a pleasure when first it is new
But as love grows older it still grows colder
And fades away like the mornin' dew

Come all you fair maids, now take a warnin'
Don't ever heed what a young man say
He's like a star on some foggy mornin'
You think he's near, he's far away

I left my father, I left my mother
I left my brother and sisters too
I left my home and my fond relations
Oh, my young man, for the sake of you

O love is teasin' and love is pleasin'
And love's a pleasure when first it is new
But as love grows older it still grows colder
And fades away like the mornin' dew
