When Love is Kind When love is kind, Cheerful and free, Love's sure to find Welcome from me. But, when love brings Heartache and pang, Tears and such things, Love may go hang. If love can sigh O'er one alone, Well pleased am I To be that one. But, should I see Love giv'n to roam To two or three, Then goodbye love. Love must in short Keep fond and true To good report And evil too. Else here I swear Young love may go, For all I care, To Jericho. When love is kind, Cheerful and free, Love's sure to find Welcome from me. But, when love brings Heartache and pang, Tears and such things, Love may go hang. I find the following version sung by Leon Bibb onan LP, "Leon Bibb sings Love Songs", Vanguard VRS-9073. No date on the record, but from information on the dust jacket it can't be earlier than 1959, and I owned my copy by 1963. RNW RNW Apr98
