Daughter: Mother oh Mother why can't you see
                   Am G          C             C
          He's the only love for me

          'Cause I'm asking for thy blessing

Mother:   Daughter oh Daughter I know his kind
          You think he's handsome and you think he's fine
          But he'll use your body and tangle your mind
          Too late you'll learn this lesson

Mother:       When love grows cold it's tragic

Daughter: Mother oh Mother he's not that way
          His touch just takes my breath away
          You surely remember when you felt that way
          When you and Father first married

Mother:   Oh yes I do remember it well
          What first was heaven soon turned to hell
          He left with another the year you was born
          But I told you he's dead and buried

Both:         But love is pretty when love is new
              Like a blushing rose in a dazzling dew
              Intoxicating like cherry sweet wine
              When love is new it's magic

                                Am G                   C     C
Daughter:         He'll love me true 'cause he told me so
                                   Am G                  C   C
Mother:           He'll break your heart when love grows old
                             F F            C                C
Daughter:         I love him so, I love him so
                                   G          C       C
Mother:           Then I pray your new love's lasting

Mother:       Love is pretty when love is new
              Like a blushing rose in a dazzling dew
              Shines like diamonds like silver and gold
              When love is new it's magic
              When love grows old it's tragic

Both:         Love is pretty when love is new
              Like a blushing rose in a dazzling dew
              Intoxicating like cherry sweet wine
              When love is new it's magic
