(In constant sorrow through his days.)
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 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 born to ramble, I have no friends to help me no.
(He has no friends to help him now)
It's fare ye well my old lover, I never expect to see you again
For I'm bound to that northern railroad, perhaps I'll die upon that train
(Perhaps he'll die upon that train)
You can bury me in a 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 a stranger, my face you'll never see no more
But there is one promise that is given, I'll meet you on Gods golden shore
(he'll meet you on Gods golden shore)
