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.
|
(He has no friends to help him now.)
|
|
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.
|
(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.
|
(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.
|
(He'll meet you on God's golden shore.)
