[Chorus:]
[03:57.00]I am a man of constant sorrow
[03:57.00]I've seen trouble all my days
[03:57.00]I'll say goodbye to Birmingham
[03:57.00]Where I was born and partly raised
[03:57.00]
[03:57.00]Your mother says I'm a traveler
[03:57.00]My face you'll never see no more
[03:57.00]But there's one promise, darling
[03:57.00]I'll see you on God's golden shores
[03:57.00]
[03:57.00]Through this whole world
[03:57.00]I'm about to ramble
[03:57.00]I'll see snow, sleet and rain
[03:57.00]
[03:57.00]I'm about to take
[03:57.00]That morning railroad
[03:57.00]Perhaps I'll die on that train
[03:57.00]
[Chorus:]
[03:57.00]
[03:57.00]I'm going back to Birmingham
[03:57.00]Where I was born
[03:57.00]And where I've been
[03:57.00]
[03:57.00]If I'd known
[03:57.00]How bad you'd treat me
[03:57.00]Honey, I never would have come
[03:57.00]
[Chorus:]
[03:57.00]
[03:57.00]I am a man of constant sorrow
