Story behind the song
the dubliners sang this back in the sixties.
Lyrics
i wish i wish ah but all in vain i wish i wish i were a maid again but a maid again i will never be till the cherries grow on an ivy tree i left me mother and i left me father i left me brother and sister too i left all me friends and me own relations i left them all for to follow you oh love is pleasing and love is teasin and love is a pleasure when first its new but as it grows older sure the love grows colder and it fades away like the morning dew for the sweetest apple is the soonest rotten and the hottest love is the soonest cold and what can’t be cured love has to be endured love and so i am bound for americay and love and porter makes a young man older and love and whisky makes him old and grey and what can’t be cured love has to be endured love and so i am bound for america
