Love Is Pleasing Lyrics - Tim O'brien

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 killin crime 

I'd have wrapped my heart in a box of gold 

And tied it up with a piece of twine
