| [00:19.30] |
I never thought that my love would leave me |
| [00:29.10] |
Until that morning when he stepped in |
| [00:37.20] |
When he sat down and I sat beside him |
| [00:48.10] |
And then our troubles they did begin |
| [00:58.45] |
|
| [00:59.66] |
Oh love is pleasing and love is teasing |
| [01:09.40] |
And love is a pleasure when first it's new |
| [01:19.55] |
But love grows older and grows quite colder |
| [01:29.60] |
And it fades away like the morning dew |
| [01:43.10] |
There is an alehouse in yon town |
| [01:52.78] |
And there my love goes and he sits down |
| [02:03.88] |
He takes a strange girl upon his knee |
| [02:13.05] |
And he tells to her what he once told me |
| [02:23.70] |
|
| [03:04.45] |
I wish my father had never whistled |
| [03:13.57] |
I wish my mother had never sung |
| [03:23.88] |
I wish the cradle had never rocked me |
| [03:36.00] |
And I wish I lied with I've not begun |
