(sometimes flat) Intro I am a man of constant sorrow I've seen troubles all my day I'm goin' back to Cali-for-nia place where I was partly raised All through this world I'm bound to ramble Through storm and wind Through sleet and rain I'm bound to ride That northern railroad Perhaps I'll take The very next train. Your friends, they say I am a stranger You'll never see My face no more There is just one Promise that's given We'll sail on God's golden shore I am a man of constant sorrow I've seen troubles all my day I'm goin' back to Cali-for-nia Place where I was partly raised Songwriters STOOKEY, NOEL PAUL/YARROW, PETER
