Careless Love Blues (alternate Take) Lyrics - Bessie Smith

Love, oh love, oh careless love 

You've fly through my head like wine 

You've wrecked the life of a many poor girl 

And you nearly spoiled this life of mine 

Love, oh love, oh careless love 

In your clutches of desire 

You've made me break a many true vow 

Then you set my very soul on fire 

Love, oh love, oh careless love 

All my happiness bereft 

You've filled my heart with weary old blues 

Now I'm walkin', talkin' to myself 

Love, oh love, oh careless love 

Trusted you now, it's too late 

You've made me throw my old friend down 

That's why I sing this song of hate
