I am a man of constant sorrow, 
                         D 
I've seen trouble all my days 
                        C 
I'll say goodbye to Colorado, 
                             D 
where I was born and prob'ly raised 

                        C 
Your mother says I am a stranger, 
                            D 
my face you'll never see no more 
                        C 
But there's one promise darling, 
                             D 
I'll see you on God's golden shore

I am about to rob the mornin' railroad, 
                         D

I'm goin' back to Colorado, 
                     D 
place that I started from
