I am a maid of constant sorrow |
|
I've seen trials all of my days |
|
I'm going back to California |
|
Place where I was partly raised |
|
Your friends may say that I'm a stranger |
|
My face they'll never see no more |
|
There is but one promise that's given |
|
I'll sail on God's golden shore |
|
All through this world I'm bound to ramble |
|
Through sun and wind and drivin' rain |
|
I'm bound to ride the western railway |
|
Perhaps I'll take the very next train |
|
I am a maid of constant sorrow |
|
I've seen trials all of my days |
|
I'm going back to California |
|
Place where I was partly raised |
