Lyrics Careless Darlin' - Ernest Tubb

Careless Darlin'

You said you loved me and me alone
And that you’d always be mine, my own
But someone new came and you did not
Have to remember so you forgot
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
Oh, Buddy Emmons, now
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
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
Oh, Billy Byrd, now
Now if tomorrow those bygone years
Those older memories should bring you tears
Think of our parting that luckless day
You carelessly threw my love away
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
