Does anyone have the words to "Love is teasin", as sung by Marianne Faithful on the Chieftain's Long Black Veil?

I thought I had the words but can't find them, nor do they come up on the database.

Hmmmm...it starts

O love is teasing and love is pleasing

And love's a pleasure, when first tis new

But what can't be cured, love, must be endured, love,

And it fades away like the morning dew."

Can't remember any more.

Try searching in the database for "Waly waly gin love be bonnie" or "the water is wide" there are lots of versions about.

Oh love is teasin' and love is pleasing
And love is a pleasure when first it's new
But as love grows older sure love grows colder
Til it fades away like the morning dew

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
I wish I was a maid (substitute youth) again
But a maid again I ne'er can be
Til apples grow on an ivy tree

But the sweetest apple is soonest rotten
And the hottest love is the soonest cold
But what can't be cured love, must be endured love
So now I'm bound for Amerikay

Somebody usualy bashes this out at Irish night down my local.

Just found another 2 verses if you're interested as follows;

I left my father, I left my mother
I left all my brothers and sisters too
I left all my friends and my own relations
I left them all for to follow you

And love and porter make a young man older
And love and whiskey make him old and grey
And what can't be cured love, has to be endured love
And now I'm bound for Amerikay.

Yet another verse:

If I had known before I courted
That love had been such a killin' crime,
I'd have locked my heart in a box of golden
And tied it up with a silver twine.

I think this is the Peggy Seeger version.
