Lyric Man Of Constant Sorrow
(traditional, arr. by Rod Stewart)
I am a man of constant sorrow
I ve seen trouble all my days
I ll say goodbye to Colorado
Where I was born and prob ly raised
Your mother says I am a stranger
My face you ll never see no more
But there s one promise darling
I ll see you on God s golden shore
Through this open world I m about to ramble
Through ice, snow, sleet and rain
I am about to rob the mornin railroad
Perhaps I ll die on that train
I m goin back to Colorado
Place that I started from
If I d knowed how bad you d treat me
Honey I never would have come
I am a man of constant sorrow
I ve seen trouble all my days
I ll say goodbye to Colorado
Where I was born and prob ly raised
Your mother says I am a stranger
My face you ll never see no more
But there s one promise darling
I ll see you on God s golden shore
Through this open world I m about to ramble
Through ice, snow, sleet and rain
I am about to rob the mornin railroad
Perhaps I ll die on that train
I m goin back to Colorado
Place that I started from
If I d knowed how bad you d treat me
Honey I never would have come
