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 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
