Careless Love- As recorded by Lee Wiley on Decca, 14th August 1934.
You see what careless love will do
You see what careless love will do
You see what careless love will do
Makes you kill yourself and your lover too.
You caused me to weep, you caused me to moan
You caused me to weep, you caused me to moan
You caused me to weep, you caused me to moan
You caused me to leave my happy home.
Don't ever drive a stranger from your door
Don't ever drive a stranger from your door
Don't ever drive a stranger from your door
Or you'll surely reap just what you sow.
There's many a poor girl led from home
There's many a poor girl led from home
There's many a poor girl led from home
But you can't turn a hard heart like my own.
You passed my door and you wouldn't come in
You passed my door and you wouldn't come in
You passed my door and you wouldn't come in
Now you see what careless love will do.
