Joan Baez - Man of Constant Sorrow lyrics
[Joan Baez - Man of Constant Sorrow lyrics]
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 partly raised
Your mother says I'm 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 trouble
Through ice and snows, sleet and rain
I'm about to ride that morning railroad
Perhaps I'll die on that train
I'm going back to Colorado
The place that I started from
If I had known how bad you'd treat me honey
I never would have come
I've seen trouble all my days
I'll say goodbye to Colorado
Where I was born and partly raised
Your mother says I'm 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 trouble
Through ice and snows, sleet and rain
I'm about to ride that morning railroad
Perhaps I'll die on that train
I'm going back to Colorado
The place that I started from
If I had known how bad you'd treat me honey
I never would have come
