Maid Of Constant Sorrow

I am a maid of constant sorrow



I've seen trials all of my days



I'm going back to California



Place where I was partly raised



Your friends may say that I'm a stranger



My face they'll never see no more



There is but one promise that's given



I'll sail on God's golden shore



All through this world I'm bound to ramble



Through sun and wind and drivin' rain



I'm bound to ride the western railway



Perhaps I'll take the very next train



I am a maid of constant sorrow



I've seen trials all of my days



I'm going back to California



Place where I was partly raised
