[Verse]
C/G C
I never thought my love would leave me
F C D
Until that morning when he stepped in
C/G C
Well, he sat down and I sat beside him
F C C/G C
And then our troubles, they did begin
[Verse]
C/G C
Oh, love is teasing and love is pleasing
F C D
And love is a pleasure when first it's new
C/G C
But love grows older and love grows colder
F C C/G C
And it fades away like the morning dew
[Verse]
C/G C
There is an alehouse in yon town
F C D
And it's there my love goes and he sits down
C/G C
He takes a strange girl upon his knee
F C C/G C
And he tells to her what he once told to me
[Verse]
C/G C
I wish my father had never whistled
F C D
And I wish my mother had never sung
C/G C
I wish the cradle had never rocked me
F C C/G C
And I wish my life, it had not begun
