- Man Of Constant Sorrow Lyrics / with translationsI Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow
(chorus) In constant sorrow through
his days
I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my day.
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised.
(chorus) The place where he was born
and raised
For six long years I've been in
trouble
No pleasures here on earth I found
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now.
(chorus) He has no friends to help him
now
It's fare thee well my old lover
I never expect to see you again
For I'm bound to ride that northern
railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon this train.
(chorus) Perhaps he'll die upon this
train.
You can bury me in some deep valley
For many years where I may lay
Then you may learn to love another
While I am sleeping in my grave.
(chorus) While he is sleeping in his
grave.
Maybe your friends think I'm just a
stranger
My face you'll never see no more.
But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore.
(chorus) He'll meet you on God's
golden shore..
(chorus) In constant sorrow through
his days
I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my day.
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised.

I believe that this song is about an escaped convict (as the movie is as well) who is escaping the south where he is wanted. He expects to never see his beloved again, so he gives her permission to move on and find a better man. He believes that he'll be reunited with her once again on "God's golden shore" - in Heaven. There may be some tie to slavery and the underground railroad, which was a secret passage system which helped escaped slaves find refuge in the North, where there was no slavery.
