Man-of-constant-sorrow

A maid of constant sorrow





(chorus) In constant sorrow through her days

I am a maid of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days.
I bid farewell to old Lyngasil
The place where I was born and raised.

(chorus) The place where she was born and raised

For nineteennine 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 guide me now.

(chorus) She has no friends to help her now

It's fare thee well my old lover
I never expect to see you again
For I'm bound to ride that insane train now
Sure I'll die upon this train.

(chorus) Perhaps she'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 girl
While I am sleeping in my grave.

(chorus) While she is sleeping in her grave.

Maybe my 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.

(chorus) She'll meet you on God's golden shore
