Careless Love- Sung by James Henry "Crip" Diggs of Roanoke, Virginia on 11/22/1963.

Fingerstyle guitar intro

Oh love, oh love oh careless love
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Love, oh love oh careless love,
Can't you see what careless will do.

You passed the door you passed the gate,
You passed the door you passed the gate,
You passed the door you passed the gate,
But I don't spect you'll pass this 38.

[solo]

Don't never turn a stranger from your door
Don't never turn a stranger from your door
Don't never turn a stranger from your door
He might be a brother but I don't know.
