Oh it's love, oh love, oh careless love
You see what careless love has done.

Once I wore my apron low,

You'd follow me through rain and snow.

Now I wear my apron high,
Oh it's now I wear my apron high,
You'll see my door and pass it by.

I cried last night and the night before,
Oh I cried last night and the night before
Going to cry tonight and cry no more.

How I wish that train would come,
How I wish that train would come,
Oh it's how I wish that train would come
And take me back where I come from.

I love my mama and papa too,
I love my mama and papa too,
Oh I love my mama and papa too
But I'd leave them both to go with you.

It's on this railroad track I stand,
It's on this railroad track I stand,
Oh it's on this railroad track I stand
All for the love of a railroad man.
