Careless Love- sung by Snooks Eglin of New Orleans (b. 1936) recorded by Dr. Harry Oster in March 1958.
Love, oh love, oh careless love,
Can't you see what careless love do to me?
You made me roam, made me lose my happy home.
It was love, oh love, oh careless love.
You tied me to your apron string
You tied me to your apron string
You said you loved my and it didn't mean a thing,
It was love, oh love, oh careless love.
