I am a man of constant sorrow
|
I've seen trouble all my days
|
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
|
The place where I was borned and raised
|
(The place where he was borned and raised)
|
|
For six long years I've been in trouble
|
No pleasure here on earth I find
|
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 own 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
|
(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 will 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)
