This is my submission for this weeks Steemit Open Mic contest by @pfunk and @luzcypher. This week I cover a really cool traditional American folk song called 'Man of Constant Sorrow.'
...so without further ado...

Lyrics -
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 partly raised
Your mother says that I'm 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,
Though I see snow, sleet and rain
I'm about to ride that northern railroad,
Perhaps I'll die upon that train
I'm going back to Colorado,
The place that I started from.
If I'd knowed how bad you'd treat me,
Honey, I never ever would have come
Thanks for listening!!!

Want to have your post on the map too?
I love it! Thank you for sharing! Great flow and amazing playing! I recently got back to playing guitar after having my baby packed in a moving box. This got me motivated to pick her up and get playing.
Thanks!! I played for years, even recorded a couple albums, but I got burned out on it. I packed up the guitar and it sat in the closet in the back room for the last few years. Then a couple months ago I started Steemit open mic... the guitar stays in the main living room now! lol. I'm having a ton of fun playing again.
