Careless Love Songtext
von Skip James

I′m layin' sick, honey in my bed
I′m layin' sick, honey in my bed
I'm layin′ sick, honey in my bed
I used to have some friends but they wish that I were dead
I′m in awful pain and deep in misery
Awful pain and deep in misery
Awful pain and deep in misery
I ain't got nobody to come and see about me

Every dog, baby, got her day
Every dog, baby, got her day
Every dog, baby, got her day
But I said please don′t you treat me this way

The doctor came lookin' very sad
The doctor came lookin′ very sad
The doctor came lookin' very sad
He diagnosed my case and said it was awful bad


He walked away mumblin′ very low
He walked away mumblin' very low
He walked away mumblin' very low
He said it may get better but it never get well no more

I hollered ′oh Lord, Lord, Lordy, Lord′
Oh, Lordy, Lord, Lord, Lord
Oh, Lordy, Lord, Lord, Lord
I've been so badly misused and treated just like a dog

I′ve got a long trip and I'm just too weak to ride
I′ve got a long trip and I'm just too weak to ride
I′ve got a long trip and I'm just too weak to ride
There's a thousand people standing at my bedside

You take a stone, you can bruise my bone
You take a stone and you can bruise my bone
You take a stone and you can bruise my bone
But you sure gonna miss me when I′m dead and gone

I′ve been around the ocean, I've been across the sea
Been around the ocean and I′ve been across the sea
Been around the ocean and I've been across the sea
I ain′t find nobody that feel my sympathy
