Love Is Pleasing Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I w[F]ish, I wish, I wish[C] in vain
I wish I was a youth [F]again
But a youth again I can [C]never be
Till apples grow on an ivy [F]tree

[Verse 2]
I left [F]me father, I left [C]me mother
I left all my sisters and brother[F]s too
I left all my friends and me [C]own religion
I left them all for to follow [F]you

[Verse 3]
But the sweetest apple is [C]the
soonest rotten
And the hottest love is the soonest
[F]cold
And what can't be cured love
has to [C]be endured love
And now I am bound for [F]America

[Verse 4]
Oh love is pleasin' and
love is [C]teasin'
And love is a pleasure when first [F]it's new
But as it grows older sure the love
[C]grows colder
And it fades away
like the morning [F]dew

[Verse 5]
And love and [F]porter
makes a young [C]man older
And love and whiskey makes him old
[F]and grey
And what can't be cured love
has to be [C]endured love
And now I am bound for [F]America
