Love, oh love, oh careless love.
Love, love oh careless love,
You have caused me to weep, you have caused me to moan.
You have caused me to leave my happy home.
Don't never drive a stranger from your door.
Don't never drive a stranger from your door.
It may be your best friend knockin' on your door.
Then it may be your brother, you will never know.
Careless love, look how you carry me down.
Careless love, look how you carry me down.
You caused me to lose my mother and she's layin' in six feet of ground.
Careless love I can't let you carry me down.
Careless love, you drove me through the rain and snow.
Careless love, you drove me through the rain and snow.
You have robbed me out of my silver and out of all my gold.
I'll be damned if you rob me out of my soul.
You've worried my mother until she died.
You've caused my father to lose his mind.
Now damn you, I'm goin' to shoot you, and shoot you four or five times,
And stand over you until you finish dyin'.
