I am a man of constant sorrow I've seen trouble on my days I bid farewell to old Kentucky The place where I was born and raised The place where I was born and raised For six long years I've seen in trouble Little pleasures have I found For in this world I'm bound to ramble I have no friends to help me now I have no friends to help me now Well I'm a man, I'm a man I'm a man of constant sorrow I'm a man, I'm a man I'm a man of no tomorrow I've seen trouble all my days It's time for goodbyes my old lover I don't think I'll see you again For I'm bound to ride that Southern Railroad perhaps I'll die on this train
Perhaps I'll die on this train Well I'm a man, I'm a man I'm a man of constant sorrow I'm a man, I'm a man I'm a man of no tomorrow I've seen trouble on my days You can just bury me in some deep valley For many years I may lay Then you may learn to love another While I'm sleeping now cold in my grave I'm sleeping cold in my grave I'm sleeping cold in my grave Well I'm a man, I'm a man I'm a man of constant sorrow I'm a man, I'm a man I'm a man of no tomorrow I've seen trouble all my days I've seen trouble all my days I've seen trouble all my days
