I am a man of constant sorrow
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)
For 6 long years I've been in trouble
No pleasure here on earth I find
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friend to help me now
(He has no friends to help him now)
...
Maybe your friends think
I'm just a stranger
My face you'll never see no more
For since the promise I've given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore
I'm gonna meet you on that golden shore
