lyrics version 1
Well I, I am a man of constant sorrow
And I've seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to old Kuntucky
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 pleasure here on earth I've fou-ad [Larry seems to start singing 'found' but change to 'had' half way through]
So in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now
He has no friends to help him now
Alright [Spoken]
Well you can bury me in some deep valley
For many years where I'll be laid
For we all must ride that railroad
The one that takes us far beyond the grave
The one that takes us beyond the grave
Break [Spoken]
Well maybe your friends think I'm a stranger
And that my face, you will never see no more
But there is one promise that I will give you
That is I'll meet you on God's golden shore
He'll meet you on God's golden shore
A. E. [Spoken - Larry calling out chords]
And I've seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to old Kuntucky
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 pleasure here on earth I've fou-ad [Larry seems to start singing 'found' but change to 'had' half way through]
So in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now
He has no friends to help him now
Alright [Spoken]
Well you can bury me in some deep valley
For many years where I'll be laid
For we all must ride that railroad
The one that takes us far beyond the grave
The one that takes us beyond the grave
Break [Spoken]
Well maybe your friends think I'm a stranger
And that my face, you will never see no more
But there is one promise that I will give you
That is I'll meet you on God's golden shore
He'll meet you on God's golden shore
