Man of Constant Sorrow Songtext

von The Soggy Bottom Boys

(in constant sorrow through his days )
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.]
