A Man of Constant Sorrow - Jackson Browne

In constant sorrow through his days I am the man of constant sorrow I've seen trouble all my day I bid farewell to old Kentucky The place where I was born and raised The place where he was born and raised For six long years I've been in trouble No pleasure here on earth I found For in this world I'm bound to ramble I have no friends to help me now He has no friends to help him now It's fare thee well my old lover I never expect to see you again For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad Perhaps I'll die upon this train Perhaps he'll die upon this train You can bury me in some deep valley For many years where I may lay Then you may learn to love another While I am sleeping in my grave While he is sleeping in his grave Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger My face you'll never see no more But there is one promise that is given I'll meet you on God's golden shore He'll meet you on God's golden shore

I am a man of constant sorrow I've seen trouble all my days So I bid farewell, to you, my old Kentucky A place where I was born and raised, yeah (A place where he was born and raised) For six long years, oh, I've been in trouble No pleasures here on earth I've found For in this world, yeah, I'm bound to ramble For I have no friends to help me now (He has no friends, to help him now) So it's fare thee well, to you my old true lover I never expect to see you again For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad Perhaps I'll die upon this train, yeah (Perhaps he'll die upon this train) And you can bury me in some deep valley For many years where I may lay Then you may learn, oh, to love another While I am sleeping in my grave Maybe your friends, they think that I'm just a stranger My face you'll never will see again But there is one promise that is given I'll meet you on God's golden shore, yeah (He'll meet you on God's golden shore) In constant sorrow all my days (In constant sorrow all his days) In constant sorrow all my days (In constant sorrow all his days) In constant sorrow all my days (In constant sorrow all his days) In constant sorrow all his days In constant sorrow all his days In constant sorrow all his days

I am a man of constant sorrow I have seen trouble all my day I've bid farewell to old Kentucky A state where I was born and raised For six long years I've been in trouble No pleasure here on earth I found For in this world I'm bound to travel I have no friends to help me now You may bury me in some deep valley For many years where I may lay Then you may learn to love another While I'm sleeping in my grave Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger My face, you'll never see no more But there is one promise that is given I'll meet you on God's golden shore

You wait for the tears to fall but they won't You think you should know what to say but you don't Here at the break of day The world moving on it's way Without her You're sitting there staring at the distance Like you're putting up some kind of resistance But you barely see the dawn It's like this river that you're on Here where the sorrows flow And all you will never know about her Here You're here The city waiking up off in the distance They're all working on some other existence But you don'y quite seem to care It's like you know they're not going anywhere Here where the sorrows flow Here where the questions grow And all you will never know about her You wait for the tears to fall but they won't You think you should know what to say but you don't Here at the break of dawn The world moving on Without her

Down on the boulevard, they take it hard They look at life with such disregard They say it can't be won The way the game is run But if you choose to stay You wind up playing anyway It's okay And though the kids in shock up and down the block The folks are home playing beat the clock Down at the Golden Cup They set the young ones up Under the neon light Selling day for night It's alright Nobody rides for free (nobody, nobody) Nobody gets it like they want it to be (nobody, nobody) Nobody hands you any guarantee (nobody, nobody) Nobody No, nobody, baby The hearts are hard and the times are tough Down on the boulevard, the night's enough And time passes slow (and time passes slow) Between the store front shadows (between the store front shadows) And the streetlights glow Everybody walks right by Like they're safe or something They don't know Nobody knows you (nobody, nobody) Nobody owes you nothin' (nobody, nobody) Nobody shows you what they're thinking (nobody, nobody) Nobody, baby Hey, hey, baby Got to watch the street and keep your feet And be on guard Make it pay, baby It's only time on the boulevard It's like this And it is the way it is (on the boulevard) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby (on the boulevard) It's only time on the boulevard

There will be no consolation prize This time the bone is broken clean No baptism, no reprise And no sweet taste of victory All the stars have fallen from the sky And everything else in between Satellites have closed their eyes The moon has gone to sleep Unloved, unloved Unloved, unloved Here I am inside a hotel Choking on a million words I said Cigarettes have burned a hole And dreams are drunk and penniless Here I am inside my father's arms All jagged-bone and whiskey-dry Whisper to me sweetly now And tell me I will never die Unloved, unloved Unloved, unloved Here I am an empty hallway Broken window, rainy night I am nineteen sixty-two And I am ready for a fight People crying hallelujah While the bullet leaves the gun People falling, falling, falling And I don't know where they're falling from Are they Unloved, unloved Unloved, unloved Hoping that the kindness Will lead us past the blindness And not another living soul Will ever have to feel Unloved, unloved Unloved, unloved Unloved, unloved
