I am a man of constant sorrow.

Interprétée par The Soggy Bottom Boys.

(Ulysses)
I am a man of constant sorrow.
I’ve seen trouble all my days.
I bid farewell to ol’ Kentucky.
The place where I was born and raised.

(Delmar et Pete)
The place where he was born and raised.

(Ulysses)
For six long years I’ve been in trouble.
No pleasure here on earth I’ve found.
For in this world I’m bound to ramble.
I have no friends to help me now.

(Delmar et Pete)
He has no friends to help him now.

(Ulysses)
It’s fair 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.

(Delmar et Pete)
Perhaps he’ll die upon this train.

(Ulysses)
You can bury me in some deep valley.
For many years where I may lay.
And you may learn to love another.
While I am sleeping in my grave.

(Delmar et Pete)
While he is sleeping in his grave.

(Ulysses)
Maybe your friends think I’m just a stranger.
My face you never will see no more.
But there is one promise that is given.
I’ll meet you on God’s golden shore.

(Delmar et Pete)
He’ll meet you on God’s golden shore.
