Ralph Stanley by way of The Coen Brothers

(In constant sorrow through his days )
I am a man
of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble
all my day.
I bid farewell
to old Kentucky
The place where I
was born and raised.
(The place where he
was born and raised )
For six long years
I've been in trouble
No pleasures here
on earth I found
For in this world
I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now.
(He has no friends to help him now)
It's fare thee well
to my old lover
I never expect
to see you again
For I'm bound
to ride that northern railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon this train.
(Perhaps he'll die upon this train.)
You can 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.
(While he is sleeping in his grave.)
Maybe your friends
think I'm just a stranger
My face you'll never
see no more.
But there is one promise
that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore.
(He'll meet you on God's golden shore.)
