I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow lyrics

I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow
John Hartford
(O Brother, Where Art Thou?)

(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.
