Girl Of Constant Sorrow

Lyrics

I am a girl of constant sorrow
 I've seen trouble all my days
 I old Kentucky
 The place where I was born and raised
 My mother, how I hated to leave her
 Mother dear, now she is dead
 But I had to go and leave her
 So my children could have bread
 Perhaps, dear friends, you're a wondering
 What the miners eat and wear
 This question I will try to answer
 For I think that it is fair
 For breakfast we have bulldog gravy
 For dinner we have beans and bread
 For the miners don't have any supper
 Just a tick of straw that we call a bed
 For our clothes be always ragged
 And our feet be always bare
 And I'm sure if there's a heaven
 That the miners will be there
