I am not looking for the Ralph Stanley version. I'm not sure if the lyrics are basically the same. Messages from multiple threads combined. |

It was a Dylan arr. which I seems much different from the older "Farewell Song" (I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow) as written by Richard Burnett and recorded by Emry Arthur in 1928. |

31 Mar 02 - 08:03 PM (#680428) Subject: ADD Version: Man of Constant Sorrow From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Lyr. Add: I AM A MAN OF CONSTANT SORROW 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 raises. Oh, six long year 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. So fare you well my own true lover, I fear I never see you again, For I'm bound to ride the Northern Railroad, Perhaps i'll die upon the train. Oh, you may bury me in some deep valley, For many year there I may lay. Oh, when you're dreaming while you are slumbering While I am sleeping in the clay. Oh, fare you well to my native country, The place where I have loved so well, For I have all kinds of trouble, In this vain world no tongue can tell. Dear friends, although I may be a stranger, My face you may never see no more; But there's a promise that is given, Where we can meet on that beautiful shore. Differs from DT and Stanley versions. Sung by Emry Arthur, 1928, Vocalion 5280. |

(From: The New Lost City Ramblers Song Book, p. 129)
The Stanley Brothers version ("I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow", King 5269. Setp 15, 1959), though this is not the one asked for, can be heard HERE. ~Masato

01 Apr 02 - 12:15 AM (#680527) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Man of Constant Sorrow From: masato sakurai Coyote Breath, yes, it is. Notes say, "This song is a mountain equivalent of the blues. Because of its shape and mode (mixolydian) virtually the same tune may be accompanied in either C or G (A or D as transcribed below)." ~Masato |

20 Jun 02 - 08:55 PM (#734026) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Man of Constant Sorrow From: Stewie Some time ago, I provided some background to Burnett's 'Farewell Song'. Burnett never recorded it, but Arthur's recording was close to his text. The info came from interviews with Burnett published in Tony Russell's sadly defunct 'Old Time Music Magazine': --Stewie. |
