(In constant sorrow all through his days) |
|
I am the man of constant sorrow |
|
I've seen trouble all my days |
|
I bid farewell to ol' 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 find |
|
For in this world I'm bound to ramble |
|
I have no friends to help me out |
|
(He has no friends to help him out) |
|
Kids fare the well |
|
My old true lover I never expect to see you again |
|
For Im bound to ride that Northen Railroad |
|
Perhaps I'll die upon that train. |
|
(Perhaps he'll die upon this train) |
|
You can bury me in Sunny 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 im just a stranger |
|
My face you'll never 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) |
