Song by Norman Blake<br /><br>

(In constant sorrow through his days)<br>

<br>

I am a man of constant sorrow <br>

I've seen trouble all my day. <br>

I bid farewell to old Kentucky <br>

The place where I was born and raised. <br>

(The place where he was born and raised)<br>

<br>

For six long years I've been in trouble <br>

No pleasures here on earth I found <br>

For in this world I'm bound to ramble <br>

I have no friends to help me now. <br>

<br>

[chorus] He has no friends to help him now <br>

<br>

It's fare thee well my old lover <br>

I never expect to see you again <br>

For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad <br>

Perhaps I'll die upon this train. <br>

<br>

[chorus] Perhaps he'll die upon this train. <br>

<br>

You can bury me in some deep valley <br>

For many years where I may lay <br>

Then you may learn to love another <br>

While I am sleeping in my grave. <br>

<br>

[chorus] While he is sleeping in his grave. <br>

<br>

Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger <br>

My face you'll never see no more. <br>

But there is one promise that is given <br>

I'll meet you on God's golden shore. <br>

<br>

[chorus] He'll meet you on God's golden shore.<br>
