Girl of Constant Sorrow - Joan Baez

I am a girl of constant sorrow

I’ve seen trouble all my days

I’m going back to California

The place I was born and partly raised

All through this world I’m about to trouble

Through sun and wind and drought and rain

I’m about to ride the west railways

Perhaps I’ll die the very next train

Your friends meeting the time is stranger

My face you’ll never see no more

But there’s one promise, then is given

I’ll see you on God’s golden shore

I am a girl of constant sorrow

I’ve seen trouble all my days

I’m going back to California

The place I was born and partly raised
