I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow Songtext

von Alison Krauss & Union Station

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 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.]
