For in this world I'm bound to ramble
It's fare thee well my old lover
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
Then you may learn to love another
He'll meet you on God's golden shore
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
I'll meet you on God's golden shore
Perhaps he'll die upon this train

You can bury me in some deep valley
While I am sleeping in my grave
But there is one promise that is given
I never expect to see you again
My face you'll never see no more
I've seen trouble all my day
In constant sorrow through his days
For many years where I may lay
He has no friends to help him now
For six long years I've been in trouble
The place where I was born and raised
I have no friends to help me now
I am a man of constant sorrow
Perhaps I'll die upon this train
No pleasures here on earth I found
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
While he is sleeping in his grave
