Here's a very different version of Loveless Love from Bo Carter, recorded in New York on 4th June 1931.

Oh love, oh love, oh loveless love.
You broke my heart and you didn't care.
My love is growin' cold, but yet it hurts my soul.
With your love, oh love, oh loveless love.

Some day I may be lucky again.
Some day I may be lucky again.
Some day I may be lucky again.
To find some truly lovin' friend.

I was good and lovin' all the time.
I was good and lovin' all the time.
I was good and loving, you abused all the time.
But still you wouldn't not be mine.

I just stand and squeeze my hands and cry.
I just stand and squeeze my hands and cry.
I just stand and squeeze my hands and I cry.
Hates to tell the one I love goodbye.

Oh love, oh love, oh loveless love.
You broke my heart and you didn't care.
My love is growin' cold, but yet it hurts my soul.
With your love, oh love, oh loveless love.
