I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow

Lyrics

[Delmar & Pete] In constant sorrow through all his days [Verse 1: Ulysses Everett McGill] I am a man of constant sorrow I've seen trouble all my days I bid farewell to ol' Kentucky The place where I was born and raised [Delmar & Pete] The place where he was born and raised [Verse 2: Ulysses Everett McGill] For six long years I've been in trouble No pleasure here on Earth I've found For in this world I'm bound to ramble I have no friends to help me now [Delmar & Pete] He has no friends to help him now [Verse 3: Ulysses Everett McGill] It's fare thee well, my old true lover I never expect to see you again For I'm bound to ride that Northern Railroad Perhaps I'll die upon this train [Delmar & Pete] Perhaps he'll die upon this train [Verse 4: Ulysses Everett McGill] You can bury me in some deep valley For many years where I may lay And you may learn to love another While I am sleeping in my grave [Delmar & Pete] While he is sleeping in his grave [Verse 5: Ulysses Everett McGill] Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger My face you never will see no more But there is one promise that is given I'll meet you on God's golden shore [Delmar & Pete] He'll meet you on God's golden shore
