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 lose 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 now



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

Carless 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 five times

And stand over you until you finish dyin'
