LYRICS AND MUSIC TRADITIONAL
| Introduction |
|
|
| Dylan |
1. |
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. |
|
2. |
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. |
|
3. |
Through this open world I'm about to ramble
through ice and snow, sleet and rain.
I'm about to ride that morning railroad.
Perhaps I'll die on that train. |
|
4. |
I'm going back to Colorado,
the place that I started from.
If I'd knowed how bad you'd treat me,
honey, I never would have come. |
