Lyrics
An’ you see what careless love have done, (3)
Made me love you, now your man done come.

Lord, have mercy on me, (3)
You see, Lord, baby, don’t you see?

When I wore my apron low, (3)
Daddy, you drove me, honey, from your door.

I’m wearin’ my apron up under my chin, (3)
You pass my door and you wouldn’t come in.

Now you see what careless love will do, (3)
Make you kill yourself and your sweetheart too.

Lord, you see what careless love have done, (3)
Make your grandma marry her oldest son.

Additional verses from Last Sessions recording
You know I love my mama and my papa too (3)
But I left them home just to go along with you.

Goodbye, goodbye, baby, goodbye (2)
Goodbye, goodbye, if I never see you no more,
You drove me away from your door.
