In constant sorrow, through all his days
I am the 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 pleasure here on earth I've 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 Never expect to see you again
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad Perhaps I'll die upon this train
Who have to die upon this train?
You can bury me in some deep valley
For many years where I may lay
And you may learn to love another
While I am sleepin' in my grave While he is sleepin' in his grave
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger My face you will see no more
But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore
We'll meet you on God's golden shore!
