Thread Name: Man Of Constant Sorrow - who wrote it?
Subject: RE: Man Of Constant Sorrow - who wrote it?
as it turns out Tami LaRue is not the writer of this ballad. It first turned up in the mainstream ..1913 by Dick Burnett, and he couldn't remember if he wrote it or not.. so it could be even earlier than 1913..
