RALPH STANLEY
- Man Of Constant Sorrow Lyrics / with translationsI am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to ol' Kentucky
The state where I was born and raised.
For six long years I've been in trouble,
no pleasure here on earth I've found
For in this world, I'm bound to ramble,
I have no friends to help me now.
It's fair 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
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
My face you never will see no more
But there is one promise that is given,
I'll meet you on Gods golden shore
I've seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to ol' Kentucky
The state where I was born and raised.
For six long years I've been in trouble,
no pleasure here on earth I've found
For in this world, I'm bound to ramble,
I have no friends to help me now.
It's fair thee well, my old true lover,
For I'm bound to ride that Northern Railroad,
perhaps I'll die upon this train
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
My face you never will see no more
But there is one promise that is given,
I'll meet you on Gods golden shore
