Maid of Constant Sorrow Lyrics

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 driving 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
