Verses
I am a
man of constant
sorrow
I've seen
trouble all my
days
I'll bid fare
well to old Ken
tucky
The place where
I was born and
raised
(The place where
he was born and
raised)
For six lon
g years I've been i
n trouble
No pleasur
e here on earth
I found
For in this wo
rld I'm bound to r
amble
I have no friend
s to help me down
(He has no frien
ds to help him down
)
It's fare t
hee well my old tru
e lover
I never ex
pect to see you
again
For I'm bound
to ride that north
ern railroad
Perhaps I'll die
upon this train
(Perhaps he'll d
ie upon this train)
You can bur
y me in sunny valle
y
For many y
ears where I ma
y lay
And you may le
arn to love anothe
r
While I am sleep
in' in my grave
(While he is sle
epin' in his grave)
Maybe your
friends think I'm j
ust a stranger
My face yo
u never will se
e no more
But there is o
ne promise that is
given
I'll meet you on
God's golden shore
(He'll meet you
on God's golden sho
re)
