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 pa** 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 pa** my door, you can pa** my gate
You can pa** my door, you can pa** my gate, Lord, Lord
You can pa** my door, you can pa** my gate
But you sure can't pa** 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
