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