I just checked the lyrics in the DT and noticed that the version I sing is different. The tune I sing is very close to the tune for Anac Cuain. Here is the way I sing it, tweaked a bit.

LOVE IS TEASIN'

Oh love is teasin', and love is pleasin',
And love's a pleasure when first it's new,
But love grows older and then grows colder,
And fades away like the mornin' dew.

Come all you young maids, and heed this warning,
Do not believe what the young men say,
For like a star on a misty morning,
You'll think he's near when he's far away.

I left my mother, I left my father,
I left my brothers and sisters, too,
I left my cottage, the home I dwelt in,
My dear young man to be with you.

Oh love is teasin', and love is pleasin',
And love's a pleasure when first it's new,
But love grows older and then grows colder,
And fades away like the mornin' dew.

Alice ^^
