  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

  For six long years I've been in trouble 

  No pleasure here on earth I found 

  For in this world I'm bound to ramble 

  I have no friends to help me now 

  (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 that 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)

  S5:
  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) x
