W:Oh love is teasing when love is pleasing, 
W:And love is a treasure when first it's new. 
W:But as it grows older then love grows colder 
W:And fades away like the morning dew. 
W:.
W:I left my father, I left my mother 
W:I left my sisters and brothers too 
W:I left my friends and my kind relations, 
W:I left them all for the love of you. 
W:.
W:Oh turn around love, your wheel of fortune. 
W:Oh turn around love and smile on me. 
W:For surely there must be a place of torment. 
W:For that young girl who deceived me. 
W:.
W:So lads, beware of your false true lovers, 
W:And never mind what the young girls say. 
W:They're like the stars on a summer's morning; 
W:You think they're near but they're far away.
