I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to old east Kentucky

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 will to see you again

For I'm bound to ride that southern railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon 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 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

[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 of my days
