He'll meet you on God's golden shore
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now
A place where I was borned and bred
Then you may learn to love another
For I'm bound to ride that Northern railroad

Perhaps I'll die upon this train
He has no friends to help him now
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
But there is one promise that is given
The place where he was borned and bred
Perhaps he'll die upon this train
While I am sleepin' in my grave
Well I am a man of constant sorrow
In constant sorrow all through his days
Well, it's fare thee well my old true lover
While he is sleepin' in his grave
I'll meet you on God's golden shore
A face you never will see no more
You can bury me in some deep valley
For many years where I may dwell
For six long years I've been in trouble
I never expect to see you again
No pleasure here on Earth I've found
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
I've seen trouble all my days
