(traditional, arr. by Rod Stewart)
I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I'll say goodbye to Colorado
Where I was born and prob'ly raised
Your mother says I am a stranger
My face you'll never see no more
But there's one promise darling
I'll see you on God's golden shore
Through this open world I'm about to ramble
Through ice, snow, sleet and rain
I am about to rob the mornin' railroad
Perhaps I'll die on that train
I'm goin' back to Colorado
Place that I started from
If I'd knowed how bad you'd treat me

They looked me up and down a bit and turned to each other
(I say) I don't like cricket-A OH NO I love it-A Yeah
I don't like cricket-A NO NO I love it-A Yeah
Don't you walk through my words you got to show some respect
Don't you walk through my words 'cause you ain't heard me out yet
WELL HE LOOKED DOWN AT MY SILVER CHAIN

Va dejendo paso a el alba
Se va perdiendo la calma
Para cuando el sol asoma
Todo el esplendor decrece
la gente en las calles toma
Catedral desaparece entre smog
Y caca de paloma

This is for you
To every kid who never had a date to no school dance (2000 eternal)
This is for you
To everyone who's ever been called a freak (come with meeeee)
Here we, here we go
What? (y'all know what I'm talking about, y'all know what I'm saying)
Like the time in school when we got free lunch and the cool kids beat us up (reduced lunch!)
And the rich kids had convertibles and we had to ride the bus (fifty-five)
Like the time we made the baseball team, but the
