lyrics

Man of Constant Sorrow


I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I'll bid farewell to this old country
The home where I was born and raised

For six long years I've seen trouble
No pleasures here on earth I find
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now

You can bury me in some deep valley
For many years where I may lay
And you may learn to love another
While I'm sleeping in my grave

Your friends, they think that I'm a stranger
A face you never more will see
There is one promise that is given
I'll see you on god's golden shore.
