man of constant sorrow

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 says that i'm a stranger

a face you'll never see no more

but here's one promise to ya

i'll see you on god's golden shore

through this open world i'm a-bound to ramble

through ice and snow

sleet and rain

im a-bound to ride that mornin' railroad

perhaps i'll die upon that train

i'm a-goin' back to colorado

the place that i've started from

if i'd knowed how bad you'd treat me

babe

i never would have come
