I am a man of constant sorrow I've seen trouble all 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
[Refrain] 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
[Refrain] 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
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
[Refrain] 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
