I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I'll say goodbye to Colorado
Where i was born and partly raised
[ Your mother | Many a [good(1)] friend(r,1) ] says i'm a stranger
My face you'll never see no more
But there's one promise darlin'
I'll see you on god's golden shore
Through this [ open | whole(r,1) ] world i'm a-bound to ramble
Through ice and snow, sleet an' rain
I'm a-bound to ride that mornin' railroad
Perhaps i'll die on that train
I'm goin' back to Colorado
The place that i started from
If i'd known how bad you'd treat me
Honey i never would have come.
Verse 1 only repeated on take (r) from 20.nov.
[ I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I'll say goodbye to Colorado
Where i was born and partly raised ]

European tour, Spring 2002 I am a man of constant sorrow I've seen trouble all my days I'll bid farewell to old Kentucky The place where I was born and raised Through this whole world I'm bound to ramble Through ice and snow, sleet and rain I'm a-bound to ride that morning railroad Perhaps I'll die on that train Your friends say that I'm a stranger My face you'll never see no more But there's one promise, one promise that is given We'll meet again on that golden shore For six long years I've been in trouble Nor pleasure here on earth I find For I'm bound to ride that morning railroad Perhaps I'll die on that train I am a man of constant sorrow I've seen trouble all my days I'll bid farewell to old Kentucky The place that I was born and raised. |
