Man Of Constant Sorrow

I am a man of constant sorrow

I've seen trouble all my day.

I bid farewell to new jersey

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 lover

I never expect to see you again

For I'm bound to ride that downtown 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.
