"I am a man of constant sorrow, I've seen trouble all of my days I'll bid farewell to old Kentucky, the place where I was born and raised. Oh, six long years, I've been blind, friends, my pleasures here on earth are done In this world I have to ramble, for I have no parents to help me now."

: 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. 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.
