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
