“Man of Constant Sorrow” was given a different origin story in a scene from the Coen Brothers’s O Brother Where A...
[Verse 1]
I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I'll say goodbye to Colorado
Where I was born and partly raised
[Verse 2]
Your mother says that I'm a stranger
My face you'll never see no more
But there's one promise darling
I'll see you on God's golden shore
[Verse 3]
Through this open world I'm a-bound to ramble
Through ice and snow, sleet and rain
I'm a-bound to ride that morning railroad
Perhaps I'll die on that train
[Verse 4]
I'm a-going back to Colorado
The place that I've started from
If I'd know-ed how bad you'd treat me
Honey, I never would have come
