Man of Constant Sorrow Lyrics by Frank Proffitt

Memorial Album

0

I am a man of constant sorrow
I've been in trouble all my days
For six long years I've been a ramblin'
I don't have no parents left me now
I'll take a trip on the Northern Railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon that train
Oh, I'm a man of constant sorrow
Been in trouble all my days
I bid farewell to my native country
The place where I was born and raised
Oh, I bid farewell to my loved companion
I know I'll never see you no more
If in this world I never more see you
I hope we'll meet on the beautiful shore
Oh, I'm a man of constant sorrow
Been in trouble all my days
