| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 00 | Lyrics: Traditional Music: Traditional I am a man of constant sorrow I have seen trouble all my days I bid farewell to old Kentucky The State 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 travel I have no friends to help me now You may bury me in some deep valley For many years where I may lay Then you may learn to love another While I am sleeping in my grave Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger My face you'll never see no more But there is one promise that is given I'll meet you on God's golden shore __________________________________________ Roots (the following information is taken from the History In Song site.) The earliest known appearance of this song is under the title "Farewell Song" in a 1913 songbook by Richard Burnett, a blind Kentucky-born musician. When he was asked in an interview whether he wrote, he said "No, I think I got the ballet [sic] from somebody -- I dunno. It may be my song... " Cecil Sharp published the song in 1918 under the title "In Old Virginny". The best-known recording of the song from that period was Emry Arthur's in 1928, this time under the title "I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow", which is what it has been known as since then. Sarah Ogan Gunning, who was herself originally from Kentucky, recorded it in 1936, changing the words to "I Am A Girl Of Constant Sorrow", and continued to perform it through to the 60s. In modern times, the Stanley Brothers did much to popularise the song, and authorship is often credited to Carter Stanley. Their version includes the verse beginning "So fare you well my own true lover" that Jerry Garcia omits, but omits the verse beginning "Oh you may bury me in some deep valley." Many others have recorded it, including Bob Dylan on his first LP in 1962 - with rather different lyrics.  | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: May. 02 | The song I'm having trouble naming is the one that went like this: We get home to Nashville, on a Monday Night Record songs on Tuesday, and on Wednesday pay the ex-wife, Then on Thursday night, it's back on the road, I don't care if it's Montana, down to Louisiana, just as long as I go, That's my life, and I love it. Any ideas? | ||||
