(Emory Gordy, Jr.,/Patty Loveless)
|
|
I am a soul of constant sorrow
|
I've seen trouble all my days
|
I bid farewell to east Kentucky
|
The place where I was born and raised
|
For many a year I have struggled
|
No pleasure here on Earth I've found
|
All through this world I'm bound to wander
|
There is no one to help me now
|
You can bury me in some deep valley
|
For many a year in peace I'll lay
|
Then you may learn to love another
|
While I am sleeping in my grave
|
It's fare-you-well my one true lover
|
I never 'spect to see you again
|
But there's one promise that is given
|
I'll meet you in God's golden land
|
