Lyrics:

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
