Janis covers an Odetta classic. A similiar version is done by Bessie Smith. The Empress of The Blues and Odetta were some of Janis' biggest inspirations.
Lyrics: Oh love, oh love, oh careless love, Oh love, oh love, oh careless love. Oh love, oh love, oh careless love, Now now don't you see what your careless love has done.
Well you worried my mother till she died And you caused my father to lose his mind. Now damn you I'm goin' to shoot you, Lord, I'm gonna shoot you both right down, I'm gonna spare no one of you child till you spin next dyin'.
Oh love, oh love, oh careless love. Oh love, oh love, oh careless love. Oh love, oh love, oh careless love Oh Lord, don't you see what, what your careless love has done. Oh yeah.
Careless love now don't know see how you follow me down, Careless love, don't you see how you follow me down. Well, you robbed me out of my silver, Lord, and out of my gold Ever sinc
