I bid farewell to old Ken | tucky, |
B7 | E | |
The place where | I was born and | raised. |
B7 | E | |
- The place where | he was born and | raised. - |
For six long years I've been in trouble, |
No pleasures here on earth I found. |
For in this world I'm bound to ramble, |
I have no friends to help me now. |
- He has no friends to help him now. - |
It's fare thee well my old lover, |
I never expect to see you again. |
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad, |
Perhaps I'll die upon this train. |
- Perhaps he'll die upon this train. - |
You can bury me in some deep valley, |
For many years where I may lay. |
Then you may learn to love another, |
While I am sleeping in my grave. |
- While he is sleeping in his grave. - |
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger, |
My face you'll never see no more. |
But there is one promise that is given, |
I'll meet you on God's golden shore. |
- He'll meet you on God's golden shore. - |
