(traditional, arr. by Rod Stewart)
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 prob`ly raised
Your mother says I am 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
Through this open world I`m about to ramble
Through ice, snow, sleet and rain
I am about to rob the mornin` railroad
Perhaps I`ll die on that train
I`m goin` back to Colorado
Place that I started from
If I`d knowed how bad you`d treat me
Honey I never would have come
