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
