| G | C | F |
| I am a | man of constant | sorrow, |
| G | C | |
| I've seen | trouble all my | days; |
| G | C | F |
| I bid fare | well to old Ken | tucky, |
| G | C | |
| The place where | I was born and r | aised. |
For six long years I've been in trouble,
No pleasure here on earth I found,
For in this world I'm bound to ramble,
I have no friends to help me now.
It's fare you well, my own 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.
You may bury me in some deep valley
For many years where I may lay,
Then you may learn to love another
While I am sleeping in my grave.
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 God's golden shore.
