Careless Love- Sung by Mrs Lena Clive of Magum, Oklahoma before 1964.
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Oh it's Love, oh love, oh careless love,
You see what love has done for me.
Sorrow, sorrow to my heart,
Sorrow, sorrow to my heart,
Sorrow, sorrow to my heart,
When me and my true love have to part.
Oh I cried last night and the night before,
Oh I cried last night and the night before,
Oh I cried last night and the night before,
Going to cry tonight and I'll cry no more.
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Has broke this heart of mine.
