(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)
