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

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

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

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 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 my days.
