Careless Love Songtext

von Dock Boggs

Oh love, oh love, oh careless love;
Oh love, oh love, oh careless love, Lord, Lord;
Love, oh love, oh careless love,
You see what careless love has done.

Oh, when my money you could blow,
Oh, when my money you could blow, Lord, Lord;
When my money you could blow,
You was always hanging 'round my door.

I wish to the Lord that train would run;
I wish to the Lord that train would run, Lord, Lord;
I wish to the Lord that train would run,
To carry me back where I came from.

Oh, now my money's all spent and gone;
Oh, now my money's all spent and gone, Lord, Lord;
Oh, now my money's all spent and gone,
You pass my door and sing a song.

I wish to the Lord that train would run;
I wish to the Lord that train would run, Lord, Lord;
I wish to the Lord that train would run,
To carry me back where I came from.

Oh mama, mama yonder he goes;
Oh mama, mama yonder he goes, Lord, Lord;
Mama, oh mama yonder he goes,
With a brand new hat and a suit of clothes.

Go place this ring upon his hand;
Go place this ring upon his hand, Lord, Lord;
Go place this ring upon his hand,
To show to the world he's a married man.

Go take this ring and put it on;
Go take this ring and put it on, Lord, Lord;
Go take this ring and put it on,
And think of me, oh when I'm gone.

If I had listened to what mama said;
If I had listened what mama said, Lord, Lord;
If I had listened what mama said,
I'd been at home in mama's bed.

Oh love, oh love, oh careless love;
Oh love, oh love, oh love, oh Lord, Lord, Lord;
Love, oh love, oh careless love,
You see what careless love has done.

You can pass my door, you can pass my gate;
You can pass my door, you can pass my gate, Lord, Lord;
You can pass my door, you can pass my gate,
But you sure can't pass this .38.

Oh love, oh love, oh careless love;
Oh love, oh love, oh love, oh Lord, Lord, Lord;
Love, oh love, oh careless love,
You see what careless love has done.

Oh, when I die, don't bury me deep;
Oh, when I die, don't bury me deep, Lord, Lord;
When I die, don't bury me deep,
Place a marble rock at my head and feet.

Upon my breast, place a lily-white dove;
Upon my breast, place a lily-white dove, Lord, Lord;
Upon my breast, place a lily-white dove,
For to show to the world I died for love.

Oh love, oh love, oh careless love;
Oh love, oh love, oh love, oh Lord, Lord, Lord;
Love, oh love, oh careless love,
You see what careless love has done.
