Careless Love- Sung by Blind Connie Williams pf Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1961.
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Love, oh love, oh careless love,
See how careless love has done.
[solo]
When I wore my apron low,
When I wore my apron low,
When I wore my apron low,
You crossed through the frost and snow.
Now my apron's to my chin,
Now my apron's to my chin,
Now my apron's to my chin,
You passed[1] [my door and won't come in.]
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Careless love how can it be
Careless love how can it be,
See how careless love has done.
