Man of Constant Sorrow Songtext
von Geoff Castellucci

In constant sorrow all through his days

I am a man of constant sorrow
Well, I′ve seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised
(The place where he was born and raised)

Yeah, for six long years, I've been in trouble
No pleasures here on Earth I′ve 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)

(Whoa, it's fare-thee-well, my old true lover)
Well, I never expect to see you again, yeah
(For I′m bound to ride that northern railroad)
Perhaps I′ll die upon that train
(Perhaps he'll die upon that train)


Now, now, now, take me to the water
Let me wash my sin away
I′ve been travelin' down this road
And how my soul has gone astray
I can feel it like a bullet no matter where I tread
All my days, I have been runnin′
From these ghosts within my head

You can bury me in some deep valley
For many years where I may lay
(Many years, where I may)
Then you may learn to love another
While I am sleepin' 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, he'll meet you on
He′ll meet you on God's golden shore

Shore
