I am a man of constant sorrow,
                         D5
I've seen trouble all my days
                        C5
I'll say goodbye to Colorado,
                             D5
where I was born and prob'ly raised

                        C5
Your mother says I am a stranger,
                            D5
my face you'll never see no more
                        C5
But there's one promise darling,
                             D5
I'll see you on God's golden shore

Through this open world I'm about to ramble,
                    D5
dry snow, sleet and rain
                              C5
I am about to rob the mornin' railroad,
                         D5
perhaps I'll die on that train

                      C5
I'm goin' back to Colorado,
                     D5
place that I started from
                            C5
If I'd knowed how bad you'd treat me,
                          D5
honey, I never would have come
