Lyrics
I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I'll say goodbye to Colorado
Place where I was partly raised
Your mother says I'm a stranger
A face you'll never see no more
Here's one promise to you, darling
We'll meet you on god's golden shore
I'm going back to California
Place where I started from
If I'd known how bad you treated me
I swear to god that I wouldn't have come
Through this world I'm a-bound to ramble
Through ice and snow, sleet and rain
I'm gonna outrun this sorrow
And find my way to Southern Spain
