Girl of Constant Sorrow

Lyrics

I am a girl of constant sorrow I've had troubles all my days I bid farewell to old Kentucky The place where I was born and raised My mother dear, I hated to leave her Mother dear, she now is dead Oh yes I have to go and leave her So my children could have bread Oh yes I know you all a-wonderin What the miner's eat and wear A breakfast we had bulldog gravy And our children's feet go bare Yes for breakfast we eat bulldog gravy For supper we eat beans and bread The miner's don't get any diner And tick of straw to call a bed The company store won't give us credit So we are a-hungry now Oh yes I know I have to leave you We will get along somehow Oh yes kind friends I have to leave you And bid you all goodbye Oh yes I know you all are hungry But my darling friend's don't cry
