I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow |
| I am a man of constant sorrow |
| I’ve seen trouble all my days |
| I bid farewell to old Kentucky |
| The place where I was born and raised. |
| For six long years I’ve been in trouble |
| No pleasure here on earth I find |
| For in this world I’m bound to ramble |
| I have no friends to help me now. |
| It’s fare thee well my own true lover |
| I never expect to see you again |
| For I’m bound to ride that Northern railroad |
| Perhaps I’ll die upon this train. |
| You can bury me in some deep valley |
| For many years where I may lay |
| Then you may learn to love another |
| While I am sleeping in my grave. |
| It’s fare you well to a native country |
| The places I have loved so well |
| For I have seen all kinds of trouble |
| In this cruel world no tongue can tell. |
| Maybe your friends think I’m a stranger |
| My face your’ll never see no more |
| But there is one promise that is given |
| I’ll meet you on God’s golden shore… |
