My apologies if this is a duplicate. Does anyone have the tune and chords to "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow," in the Stanley Bros. or earlier form? All I have is the Peter, Paul and Mary version. Thank you very much! Beth |

(G)I am a man of constant (C)sorrow
For six long years I've been in trouble
It's fare thee well my own true lover
You can bury me in some deep valley
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
Stanley Bros.'s lyrics from here.
The Baez version (HERE and a version from the Blue Ridge Mountains (HERE) are in DT.

16 Oct 01 - 12:02 AM (#573076) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Man of Constant Sorrow From: Mountain Dog As an oddity and an aside, there is a very strange, and distinctly plaintive, version of Man of Constant Sorrow on the first Ginger Baker's Air Force album (c. 1970, just after the demise of Blind Faith) with Denny Laine (later of Wings fame) on lead vocals. In his version, Laine it is to Birmingham that Laine bids his farewells... and it is the live audience at the Royal Albert Hall which finds itself on the receiving end of most of the grief and sorrow, which, though intense, is mercifully finite. |
