Song of the Day 53 : Willie Nelson : I Never Cared For You

I Never Cared For You is one of my favourite Willie songs. He wrote it early in his career. I especially like the tex-mex and spanish feel he gets out of Trigger that battered old guitar of his.

The first version I heard was on a compilation and then I heard the version on Teatro and I was hooked!  I have now managed to find an early 60's live album which probably has the best version.


                                                "I Never Cared For You"

The sun is filled with ice and gives no warmth at all
And the sky was never blue
The stars are raindrops searching for a place to fall
And I never cared for you

I know you won't believe these things I tell you
No, you won't believe
Your heart has been forewarned all men will lie to you
And your mind cannot conceive
Now all depends on what I say to you
And on your doubting me
So I've prepared these statements far from true
Pay heed and disbelieve

The sun is filled with ice and gives no warmth at all
The sky was never blue
Stars are raindrops searching for a place to fall
And I never cared for you

And the sun is filled with ice and gives no warmth at all
Sky was never blue
The stars are raindrops searching for a place to fall
And I never cared for you
I never cared for you
I never cared for you
