~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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 frieds to help me now
(He has no frie nds to help him now)
It's fare thee well my one true lover I don' 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)
