Love is Pleasin' - Traditional (Davy Graham version)

oh love is teasin and love is pleasin
and loves a treasure when first its new
but as love grows older it waxes colder
and fades away like the morning dew

if i had known when first i caught it
that love would be so hard to hold
id put my love in a silver casket
and lock it up with a key of gold

i left my mother i left my father
i left my brother and my sisters too
i left all my fond relations
i left my home for to be with you

oh love is teasing and love is pleasing
loves a treasure when first its new
but as love grows older and waxes colder
it fades away like the morning dew

Breathtaking.

Love this song, I'm going to have to look at the rest of your videos... You have some fantastic song choices & things I'd not heard before & I thought Id heard or at least heard of most things.. Great job, voice magical as always.. The two dislikers must've slipped as they tried to hit the like button I think..

Your singing is always amazing and this song is hauntingly beautiful

and no one sings it as well as you do. Please keep finding

more of these.!
