2. For six long years, I've been in trouble, No pleasure here on earth I find

3. It's fare-thee-well my own new lover, I never expect to see you again

4. You can bury me in some deep valley, Or any hill where I may lay

5. Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger, My face you'll never see no more

1. I bid farewell to old Kentucky, The place where I was born and raised

2. For in this world, I'm bound to ramble, I have no friends to help me now

3. For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad, Perhaps I'll die upon this train
