I am a man of constant sorrow
Ive seen trouble all my days
Ill say goodbye to Colorado
Where I was born and partly raised
Your mother says Im a stranger
My face youll never see no more
But theres one promise, darling
Ill see you on Gods golden shore
Through this open world Im about to ramble
Through ice and snow, sleet and rain
Im about to ride that morning railroad
Perhaps Ill die on that train
Im going back to Colorado
The place that I started from
If I knowed how bad youd treat me
Honey, I never would have come
