CARELESS DARLIN'
(Ernest Tubb / Lou Wayne / Bob Shelton)

Ernest Tubb 

Also recorded by : Little Jimmy Dickens; 
Jack Guthrie; Tex Ritter.


You said you'd love me and me alone
And that you'd always by mine my own
But someone new came and you did not
Care to remember so you forgot

CHORUS
Oh Careless Darlin', how carelessly
You broke the vow that you made to me
With all my heart I believed in you
But Careless Darlin' you were untrue

Your last goodbye will forever ring
Within my ear and will heartaches bring
I kept my promise, I kept my vow
But you kept nothing it's so plain now

CHORUS
Oh Careless Darlin', how carelessly
You broke the vow that you made to me
With all my heart I believed in you
But Careless Darlin' you were untrue

Now if tomorrow these bygone years
These olden mem-ries should bring you tears
Think of our parting that luckless day
You carelessly threw my love away

CHORUS
Oh Careless Darlin', how carelessly
You broke the vow that you made to me
With all my heart I believed in you
But Careless Darlin' you were untrue
