Soggy Bottom Boys - I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow

[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 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.

[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.]
