Careless Love- sung by Anita Carter of Maces Spring, VA. Recorded October 22, 1950.
Love, oh love, oh careless love,
Love, oh love, oh careless love,
Love, oh love, oh careless love,
See what love has done for me.
Oh you passed my door and you passed my gate
You passed my door and you passed my gate
You passed my door and you passed my gate
Why oh darling won't you wait?
Careless love you've done me wrong,
Careless love you've done me wrong,
Made me weep and lose my sleep
Oh careless what have you done
Hopeless night alone and blue,
Hopeless night alone and blue,
My lonely room is filled with gloom
oh careless love what did I do.
