Love Is Teasin'

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain I wish I were a maid again But a maid again I can never be Until apples grow on an ivy tree For love it is pleasin' and love is teasin' And love is a treasure when first it's new But as love grows older, then love grows colder And it fades away like the morning dew There is a little house into town And there my love, he sits him down He takes a strange girl on his knee And he tells her things that he wants to be For love and water make younger older And love and whiskey make her old and grey And what cannot be cured, love, must be endured, love And now I am bound for America La la la la la la... La la la la la la... As life grows older sure love grows older And it fades away like the morning dew
