Alexander's Rag Time Band

Careless Love

Love, oh love, oh careless love

You've fly through my head like wine

You've wrecked the life of a many poor girl

And you nearly spoiled this life of mine

Love, oh love, oh careless love

In your clutches of desire

You've made me break a many true vow

Then you set my very soul on fire

Love, oh love, oh careless love

All my happiness bereft

You've filled my heart with weary old blues

Now I'm walkin', talkin' to myself

Love, oh love, oh careless love

Trusted you now, it's too late

You've made me throw my only friend down

That's why I sing this song of hate

Love, oh love, oh careless love

Night and day, I weep and moan

You brought the wrong man into this life of mine

For my sins, till judgment I'll atone
