I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow Lyrics - Norman Blake

(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 

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 

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 

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
