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
<Interlude>
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
<Interlude>
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
