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… |
