Songteksten

[Verse 1]
In constant sorrow all through his days
[Verse 2]
I am the 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
[Verse 3]
The place where he was born and raised
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
He has no friends to help him now
[Verse 6]
It's fare thee well my old true lover
I never expect to see you again
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon this train
[Verse 7]
Perhaps he'll die upon this train
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
While he is sleeping in his grave
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
He'll meet you on God's golden shore
