Intro

Im 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 a-bound to ramble,

Through ice and snows, sleet and rain,

Im a-bound to ride that mornin railroad,

Perhaps Ill die on that train.

Im going back to colorado,

The place that Ive started from.

If Id knowed how bad youd treat me,

Honey I never would have come.
