Biografía:
Bessie Smith (Chattanooga, Tennessee, 15 de abril de 1894 - Clarksdale, Mississippi, 26 de septiembre de 1937) fue la cantante de blues más popular de los años 20 y 30 y la más influyente en los cantantes que la siguieron.

"Careless Love"
Traditional (lyrics as sung by Bessie)
G D G
Love, oh love, oh careless love
G D
Love, oh love, oh careless love
G C
Love, oh love, oh careless love
G D G
See what careless love has done
G D G
Love, oh love, oh careless love
G D
You've fly through my head like wine
G C
You've wrecked the life of a many poor girl
G D G
And you nearly spoiled this life of mine
G D G
Love, oh love, oh careless love
G D
In your clutches of desire
G C
You've made me break a many true vow
G D G
Then you set my soul on fire
G D G
Love, oh love, oh careless love
G D
All my happiness bereft
G C
You've filled my heart with weary old blues
G D G
Now I'm walkin', talkin' to myself
G D G
Love, oh love, oh careless love
G D
Trusted you now, it's too late
G C
You've made me throw my old friend down
G D G
That's why I sing this song of hate
G D G
Love, oh love, oh careless love
G D
Night and day, I weep and moan
G C
You brought the wrong man into this life of mine
G D G
For my sins, till judgment I'll atone
