Dwight Yoakam - Man Of Constant Sorrow Lyrics






I am a man of constant sorrow
I’ve seen trouble all my days
And 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

So 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 dark holler
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 that 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
He'll meet you on God’s golden shore

  13. A.... A....

    ain't heard this version before I love it happy birthday Dwight Yoakam October 23 he's 61

  14. a.... w....

    Loyal farm ..... You're right. I come from a musical family, and most of the people in their late 50's don't have near the energy and stamina Dwight has, and their talent is slowly sinking. Haha. Too many years of playing long and hard. Dwight is one special cat.

  15. b.... l....

    I agree with you, Dwight is the best-selling, best country's singer that because of him I luv his country music better that any other country singer, he can play that guitar like crazy..I luv him sexy moves & sexy dances on stage..your my favorite Dwight...keep it up, turn me on, turn me up turn me loose!!!

  16. R.... K....

    Love this tune - its in the movie "Brother Where Art Thou" as well. This version is much better of course, but it makes me smile thinking about that epic movie that parodies Homer's Odyssey.

  17. D.... B....

    Kick it in boys!

  18. m.... p....

    come to cow town dwight. i'm totally gonna be there, free concert at power and light on thursday, august 11 2016

  19. D.... S....

    You don't follow a singer for thirty some years because he is bad....Great new CD!!!! This is my favorite track from the latest CD. Will keep listening as long as you keep singing and playing your guitar. It has been a pleasure.

  20. H.... T....

    M.... M....

    Went to Kennewick and he was awesome there too under the stars.

  28. A.... L....

    Nobody has ever sang with the unique style that Dwight possesses. He is one of a kind, and deserves to be in every Music Hall of Fame on this planet. Maybe on other planets too, now that I think about it!

    A.... L....

    YES SIR I AGREE

    A.... L....

    amen , I totally agree

    A.... L....

    There are no other planets with life

  29. l.... d....

    Outstanding from Dwight!

  30. d.... ....

    has a rockabilly kick to it!!

    d.... ....

    cowpunk!

    d.... ....

    Would sombody please tel me what rockabilly is

  31. o.... ....

    Dwight doesn't play or sound like he is darn near 60. And that is what makes him the coolest country singer around. If the new "bro" country singers had a brain they would hang out with Dwight and learn a thing or two.

    o.... ....

    Damn straight!!!

    o.... ....

    He doesn't move like it either. He has a lot of energy on stage.

    o.... ....

    Agreed.

  32. O.... C....

    Dwight puttin his style on one of my all time fav songs,from his new album..Fittingly called SECOND HAND HEART...

    O.... C....

    OUTLAW COUNTRY yes he is special

  33. s.... ....
