about

Heard this sung by Juanita Moore in a 1947 recording at a radio station in Mt. Airy, NC. It haunted us. Look it up!

lyrics

Man of Constant Sorrow

I am a man of constant sorrow
I have seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised

Oh for six long years I’ve been in trouble
No pleasure here on earth I’ve found
For in this world I have to ramble
I have no parents to help me now

Oh it’s fare you well my own true lover
I fear I’ll never see you again
Oh I am bound to ride this northern railroad
Perhaps I’ll die upon the train

Oh you may bury me in some deep valley
For many a year where I may lay
And you may learn to love another
While I am sleeping in the grave

Oh friends all know how to be a stranger
My face you may never see no more
But there’s one promise that is given
Where we can meet on the beautiful shore
