Careless Hands

Today, friends, I wish we could name all the stars
In the music business, who are here tonight
I'll mention just a few
Webb Pierce, Faron Young, J.E Maxine, and Bonny Brown
The former governor of the state of Louisiana, Jimmy Davis
Our this jockey friends, by the dozens
And our good buddy, the smiling starduster
Slim Whitman
Let's welcome him back tonight
Oh, goodness

Come on out here, Slim (howdy, Frank, howdy?)
Are you waiting on me?
I'm waiting on you, we wanna hear you sing
You've been away for so long
Careless love

I let my heart fall into careless hands
Careless hands that broke my heart in two
You held my dreams like worthless grains of sand
Careless hands don't care when dreams slips through

I brought you joy and, dear, I loved you so
But all that sunshine didn't make the roses grow
If you don't change, someday you'll know the sorrow of
Careless hands that can't hold onto love

I brought you joy and, dear, I loved you so
But all that sunshine didn't make the roses grow
If you don't change, someday you'll know the sorrow of
Careless hands that can't hold onto love

Thank you very much, Slim
Oh, yes, by the way, we've got a telegram
From another of our Louisiana Hayride members
Former members, Elvis Presley
He sent his regards, but, uh
Uncle Sam wouldn't let him off guard duty tonight
