You said you love me and me alone
And that you'd always be mine my own
But someone new came
And you did not kept to remember so you forgotOh, 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 untrueYour last goodbye will forever ring within my ear
And full heartaches bring
I kept my promise I kept my vow
But you kept nothing it's so plain nowOh, 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 untrueNow if tomorrow those bygone years
Those older mem'ries should bring you tears
Think of our parting that luckless day
You carelessly threw my love awayOh, 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
