Love, oh love, oh careless love,
Love, oh love, oh careless love,
Oh it's love, oh love, oh careless love
You see what careless love has done to me.
I love my mama and papa too,
I love my mama and papa too,
I love my mama and papa too,
I'd leave them both to go with you.
What, oh what will mama say?
What, oh what will mama say?
What, oh what will mama say?
When she learns that I've gone astray.
I cried last night and the night before,
I cried last night and the night before,
Oh I cried last night and the night before,
Going to cry tonight and cry no more.

Once I wore my apron low,
Once I wore my apron low,
Oh it's once I wore my apron low,
You'd follow me through rain and snow.
Now I wear my apron high,
Now I wear my apron high,
Oh it's now I wear my apron high,
You'll see my door and pass it by.
Don't you marry a railroad man,
Don't you marry a railroad man,
A railroad man will kill you if he can
And drink your blood like wine.
Love, oh love, oh careless love,
Love, oh love, oh careless love,
Oh it's love, oh love, oh careless love
You see what careless love has done to me.
