Girl of Constant Sorrow (Singer: Joan Baez)
I am a girl of constant sorrow
Have seen troubles all my days
I'm going back to California
Place where I was partly raised
All through this world I'm bound to ramble
Through sun and wind and drivin' rain
I'm bound to ride the Western railways
Perhaps I'll take the very next train
Your friends may think that I'm a stranger
My face you'll never see no more
There's one promise which is given
I'll see you on God's golden shore
I am a girl of constant sorrow
Have seen troubles all my days
I'm going back to California
Place where I was partly raised
Songwriter: Traditional, Arranged by Joan Baez
Wikipedia states:
"Man of Constant Sorrow" is a traditional American folk song first published by Dick Burnett, a partially blind fiddler from Kentucky. The song was originally titled "Farewell Song" in a songbook by Burnett dated to around 1913. An early version was recorded by Emry Arthur in 1928, which gave the song its current titles.
The song was popularized by The Stanley Brothers who recorded the song in the 1950s, and many versions were recorded in the 1960s, most notably by Bob Dylan. Variations of the song have also been recorded under the titles of "Girl of Constant Sorrow" by Joan Baez, "Maid of Constant Sorrow" by Judy Collins, and "Sorrow" by Peter, Paul and Mary.
Public interest in the song was renewed after the release of the 2000 film O Brother, Where Art Thou?, where it plays a central role in the plot. The song, with lead vocal by Dan Tyminski, was also included in the film's highly successful, multiple-platinum-selling soundtrack. This recording won a Grammy for Best Country Collaboration at the 44th Annual Grammy Awards.
