Lyrics

Man of Constant Sorrow
traditional / arr: TJH
 
I am a man of constant sorrow;
I’ve seen hard-times all my days.
I bid farewell to the County,
(the place where I was born and raised.) 2x
 
For six long years, I’ve been in trouble;
no pleasures here on earth I’ve found.
For in this world, I’m bound to ramble;
(I have no friends to help me now.) 2x
 
SOLO
 
So, it’s fare thee well my old lover;
I never expect to see you again.
For I’m bound to ride that northern railroad;
(perhaps I’ll die upon this train.) 2x
 
They’ll just bury me in some deep valley,
say a prayer, and lay my body down.
And I know that you will love another,
(while I am sleeping in my grave.) 2x
 
SOLO
 
I am a man of constant sorrow;
I’ve seen hard-times all my days.
I bid farewell to the County,
(the place where I was born and raised.) 2x
