Love, oh, love, oh careless love
Love, oh, love, oh careless love
Love, oh, love, oh careless love
Now you see what love has done to me
I'd love my mama and papa too
I'd love my mama and papa too
I'd love my mama and papa too
I would 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 I'm gong away
Once I wore my apron low
Once I wore my apron low
Once I wore my apron low
I couldn't hardly keep you from my door
Now my apron strings don't pin
Now my apron strings don't pin
Now my apron strings don't pin
You pass my door but you won't come in
