Lyrics:

I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my day
So I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised yeah
(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 yeah I'm bound to ramble,
I have no friends to help me now
(He has no friends to help him now)
So It's fare thee well my old lover
I never expect to see you again
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon this train yeah
(Perhaps he'll die upon this train)

And you can bury me in some deep valley
For many years where I may lay
Then you may learn, oh, to love another
While I am sleepin' in my grave
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
My face you'll never will see again
But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore yeah
(He'll meet you on God's golden shore)

In constant sorrow all my day yeah
(In constant sorrow all his day)
In constant sorrow all my day
(In constant sorrow all his day)
In constant sorrow all my day
(In constant sorrow all his day)
(In constant sorrow all his day)
(In constant sorrow all his day)
(In constant sorrow all his day)
