[Intro]
      
   


[Verse 1]
             
I am a man of 

         
constant sorro

w
            
I've seen trou

           
ble all my day

s
             
I bid farewell

        
 to old Kentuc

ky
             
The place wher

  
e I  was borne

d and raised
            
(In constant s

             
orrow through 

        
all his days)


[Verse 2]
             
For six long y

              
ears I've been

    
 in trouble
          
No pleasure he

              
re on Earth I'

   
ve found
           
For in this wo

              
rld I'm bound 

   
to travel
           
I have no frie

              
nds to help me

 
 now

It's fare thee

true lover
           
I never expect

            
 to see you ag

ain
             
For I'm bound 

             
to ride that N

        
orthern Railro

ad
           
Perhaps I'll d

ie upon this t

rain



[Verse 4]
             
You can bury m

              
e in some deep

 
 valley
            
For many years

            
 where I may l


ay
             
And you may le

            
arn to love an

other
          
While I am sle

            
eping in my gr

ave

Maybe your fri

              
ends think I'm

er
           
My face you ne

But there is o

            
ne promise tha

     
t is given
            
I'll meet you 


on God's golde
