Intro: |
In constant sorrow all through his days |
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 |
(The place where he was born and raised) |
For six long years I've been in trouble |
No pleasures here on earth I found |
For in this world I'm bound to ramble |
I have no friends to help me now |
(He has no friends to help him now) |
It's fare thee well my old 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 |
(Perhaps he'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 |
(While he is sleeping in his grave) |
Maybe your friends think |
I'm just a stranger |
My face you never will see no more |
But there is one promise that is given |
I'll meet you on God's golden shore |
(He'll meet you on God's golden shore) |
