G                   C  
I am a man of constant sorrow,  
G                  D  G  
I've seen trouble all my days.  
G                      C  
I bid farewell to old Kentucky,  
G                   D       G  
The place where I was born and raised.  

G                   C  
The place where he was born and raised.  
G                      C  
For six long years I've been in trouble,  
G                  D         G  
No pleasure here on earth I found.  
G                        C  
For in this world I'm bound to ramble,  
G                  D       G  
I have no friends to help me now.  

G                   C  
He has no friends to help him now.  
G                      C  
It's fare thee well, my old true lover,  
G                   D         G  
I never expect to see you again.  
G                      C  
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad,  
G                  D       G  
Perhaps I'll die upon this train.  

G                   C  
Perhaps he'll die upon this train.  
G                      C  
You can bury me in some deep valley,  
G                   D         G  
For many years where I may lay.  
G                          C  
Then you may learn to love another,  
G                 D       G  
While I am sleeping in my grave.  

G                   C  
While he is sleeping in his grave.
