I am a Man of Constant Sorrow

Traditional, Carter Stanley / Soggy Bottom Boys featuring Dan Tyminski: O Brother, where art thou?

Capo I
E E B7 E
In constant sorrow all through his days.
 
E A
I am a man of constant sorrow,
B7 E
I've seen trouble all my day.
A
I bid farewell to old Kentucky,
B7 E
The place where I was born and raised.
B7 E
- The place where he was born and raised. -
 
For six long years I've been in trouble, 
No pleasures here on earth I found. 
For in this world I'm bound to ramble, 
I have no friends to help me now. 
- He has no friends to help him now. - 
 
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. 
- Perhaps he'll die upon this train. - 
 
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 in my grave. 
- While he is sleeping in his grave. - 
 
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger, 
My face you'll never see no more. 
But there is one promise that is given, 
I'll meet you on God's golden shore. 
- He'll meet you on God's golden shore. -
