I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow (Live) - Alison Krauss & Union Station

I am a man of constant sorrow I've seen trouble all my days So I bid farewell, to you, my old Kentucky A place where I was born and raised, yeah (A place where he was born and raised) For six long years, oh, I've been in trouble No pleasures here on earth I've found For in this world, yeah, I'm bound to ramble For I have no friends to help me now (He has no friends, to help him now) So it's fare thee well, to you 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, yeah (Perhaps he'll die upon this train) And you can bury me in some deep valley For many years where I may lay Then you may learn, oh, to love another While I am sleeping in my grave Maybe your friends, they think that I'm just a stranger My face you'll never will see again But there is one promise that is given I'll meet you on God's golden shore, yeah (He'll meet you on God's golden shore) In constant sorrow all my days (In constant sorrow all his days) In constant sorrow all my days (In constant sorrow all his days) In constant sorrow all my days (In constant sorrow all his days) In constant sorrow all his days In constant sorrow all his days In constant sorrow all his days

In constant sorrow through his days I am the 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 pleasure 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 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

You're the lucky one So i've been told As free as the wind Blowin' down the road Loved by many, hated by none I'd say you're lucky 'cause I know what you've done Not a care in the world Not a worry in sight Everything's gunna be alright Cause you're the lucky one You're the lucky one Always havin' fun A jack of all trades a master none You look at the world with a smilin' eye And laugh at the devil as his train goes by Give you a song and a one night stand And you'll be looking at a happy man 'Cause you're the lucky one. Well you're blessed i guess By never knowing which road your choosin. To you the next best thing To playin and winning is playin and losing You're the lucky one i know that now Don't ask you why, when, where, or how You look at the world thru your smilin' eye And laugh at the devil as his train goes by Give you a song and a one night stand And you'll be looking at a happy man 'Cause you're the lucky one Well you're blessed i guess By never knowing which road your choosin. To you the next best thing To playin and winning is playin and losing You're the lucky one i know that now Don't ask you why, when, where, or how No matter where you're at, it's where you'll be You can bet your luck won't follow me Just give you a song and a one night stand And you'll be looking at a happy man Cause you're the lucky one.

I've put it all behind me Nothing left to do or doubt Some may say But every silver lining Always seems to have a cloud That comes my way Anticipated pleasure Or unexpected pain No choice I fear Love is hard to measure Hidden in the rain That's why you'll find me Here all alone and still wondering why Waiting inside for the cold to get colder And here where it's clear that I've wasted my time Hoping to fly cause it's almost over now People come together People go their own way Love conquers few And I'll do whatever I'll say what I need to say Just not for you How many days should I smile with a frown? Cause you're not around with the sun on your shoulders And how many nights must I wake up alone? And know in my soul that it's almost over now Our love is like a paper airplane flying in the folded wind Riding high, dipping low And innocence is fair game I'm hoping I can hold it in Our love will die I know

When I was a child I used to love to watch the rain I'd stand under the downspout,let the water cool my brain I never thought to worry if the river rose too high That all the seeds we planted would get washed out with the tide But now I am a man And I need a place to hide But there's nowhere to run And there's no place to hide Where the water runs free And the mud starts to slide When I was a young man I could work through wind and rain I never thought to worry,had no reason to complain I thought that I was standing on a rock so firm and strong But it was easy then to see,just what was right and what was wrong But now I am a man I won't be hanging round too long When I was a child I used to love to watch the rain I'd stand under the downspout,let the water cool my brain I never thought to worry if the river rose too high And all the dreams we planted would get washed out with the tide But there's nowhere to run And there's no place to hide Where the water runs free And the mud starts to slide Where the water runs free And the mud starts to slide
