Fare Thee Well My Old Lover Lyrics by Victims of Science

Victims of Science: The Collection

2007

[Intro]
(In constant sorrow through all his days)
[Verse 1]
I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to ol' Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised
(The place where he was born and raised)
[Verse 2]
For six long years I've been in trouble
No pleasure here on Earth I've 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)
[Verse 3]
It's fare thee well, my old true 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)
[Verse 4]
You can bury me in some deep valley
For many years where I may lay
And you may learn to love another
While I am sleeping in my grave
(While he is sleeping in his grave)
[Verse 5: Ulysses Everett McGill]
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
My face you never will 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)
