Man of Constant Sorrow Lyrics

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
(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
(He has no friends to help him now)

It's fare thee well my old true lover
I never expect to see you again
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon this train
(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
(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
(He'll meet you on God's golden shore)

What is the Meaning of Man of Constant Sorrow?

Delving into the depths of a wandering soul, this song captures the essence of a life marred by endless sorrow and solitude. The narrator bids farewell to his home and love, signaling a resignation to a fate of constant movement and unresolved grief. His journey seems almost mythic, marked by personal loss and an acceptance that he may never find peace or companionship again. Yet, there's a glimmer of hope in his acceptance of destiny and the promise of eventual reunion in the afterlife. It’s a poignant reflection on the human condition, exploring themes of isolation, resilience, and the eternal search for redemption 🌟.
