Man of Constant Sorrow lyrics
by The Longest Johns
[Intro]
In constant sorrow through his days
[Verse 1]
I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to ol' Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised
(The place where he was born and raised)
[Verse 2]
For six long years I've been in trouble
No pleasures here on Earth I've 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)
[Verse 3]
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
Pеrhaps I'll die upon this train
(Perhaps he'll diе upon this train)
[Verse 4]
You can bury me in some deep valley
For many years where I may lay
And you may learn to love another
While I am sleeping in my grave
(While he is sleeping in his grave)
[Verse 5]
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
My face you 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)
