Man of Constant Sorrow

Bobby Bare · All-American Boy [Bear Family] [1994]

(Waylon Jennings)



I'm a man of constant sorrow

I've known trouble all my days

I'll say goodbye and leave tomorrow

And I won't be back this way.



Misery is nothing new to me

Memories will fade in time

Another day some new tomorrow

Just might ease my troubled mind.



I'm a man of constant sorrow

I've known trouble all my days

I'll say goodbye and leave tomorrow

And I won't be back this way.



I just can't be the man you've made of me

Only you know how I tried

I'll say goodbye and leave tomorrow

Maybe then you'll be satisfied.



'Cause I'm a man of constant sorrow

And I won't be back this way...
