Man of Constant Sorrow Lyrics


I am a man of constant sorrow
I’ve seen trouble all my days
I’ll say goodbye to Colorado
Where I was born and prob’ly raised
Your mother says, I am a stranger
My face you’ll never see no more
But there’s one promise, darling
I’ll see you on God’s golden shore
Through this open world I’m about to ramble
Through ice, snow, sleet and rain
I am about to rob the mornin’ railroad
Perhaps I’ll die on that train
I’m goin’ back to Colorado
Place that I started from
If I’d knowed how bad you’d treat me
Honey, I never would have come

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

The Stanley Brothers (Carter Stanley, 1925-1966, and Ralph Stanley, born 1927) were an American bluegrass duo originally hailing from Dickenson County, Virginia. The family soon moved to McClure, Virginia, where their parents worked a small farm in the Clinch Mountains. Music was a part of their lives from the word go, as they were able to listen to the likes of The Monroe Brothers, Mainer's Mountaineers, and other artists featured on the Grand Ole Opry radio program.
