I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow

Norman Blake

|
I am a man of constant sorrow
|
I've seen trouble all my day.
|
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 pleasures here on earth I found
|
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
|
I have no friends to help me now.
|
|
(chorus) He has no friends to help him now
|
|
It's fare thee well my old true lover
|
I never expect to see you again
|
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
|
Perhaps I'll die upon this train.
|
|
(chorus) Perhaps he'll die upon this train.
|
|
You can bury me in some deep valley
|
For many years where I may lay
|
Then you may learn to love another
|
While I am sleeping in my grave.
|
|
(chorus) While he is sleeping in his grave.
|
|
Maybe your friends think I'm 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.
|
|
(chorus) He'll meet you on God's golden shore.
