I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow lyrics
I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow
Norman Blake

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 friends to help me now.

(chorus) He has no friends to help him now

It s fare thee well my old 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.

(chorus) 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.

(chorus) 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.

(chorus) He ll meet you on God s golden shore.
