I am a man of constant sorrow I've seen trouble all my days And I bid farewell to old east Kentucky The place where I was born and raised The place where I was born and raised For six long years I've seen 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 will to 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 all my days I've seen trouble all my days You can just bury me in some deep valley For many years where I may lay Then you may learn to love another While I am sleeping now 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 of my days
