Man Of Constant Sorrow

I am a man of constant sorrow
I’ve seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to Manitoba
Place where I was born and raised
Place where I was born and raised

For six long years I’ve been in trouble
No pleasures here on earth I’ve found
For in the is world
I’m bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now

It’s fare thee well my own true lover
I ne’er expect to see your face again
For I was born to ride this straight line
Perhaps I’ll die out in the rain
Perhaps I’ll die out in the rain

Bury me in some deep valley
Where I may lay for many years
Then you may learn to love another
While I lay sleeping in my grave
While I lay sleeping in my grave

Maybe your friends think I’m a stranger
My face you’ll never see no more
But there is one promise that’s given
We’ll meet again on God’s golden shore
We’ll meet again on God’s golden shore
