Joe Thompson

Joe Thompson was an African-American old-time fiddler and banjo player. He was born in 1918 and grew up in North Carolina, where he learned traditional Piedmont-style fiddle and banjo tunes. Thompson was recognized as one of the few remaining African-American musicians who preserved the traditional string band music of the region. He became well-known for his lively performances and his contributions to the revival of old-time music. Thompson passed away in 2012, but his legacy lives on in recordings and the influence he had on younger musicians. more »

Love, oh love, oh careless love
You've fly through my head like wine
You've wrecked the life of a many poor girl
And you nearly spoiled this life of mine

Love, oh love, oh careless love
In your clutches of desire
You've made me break a many true vow
Then you set my very soul on fire

Love, oh love, oh careless love
All my happiness bereft
You've filled my heart with weary old blues
Now I'm walkin', talkin' to myself

Love, oh love, oh careless love
Trusted you now, it's too late
You've made me throw my old friend down
That's why I sing this song of hate

Love, oh love, oh careless love
Night and day, I weep and moan
You brought the wrong man into this life of mine
For my sins, till judgment I'll atone
