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 published by Burnett around 1913. An early version was recorded by Emry Arthur in 1928 under the title Man of Constant Sorrow which eventually replaced the original name.

That piece was popularized by The Stanley Brothers who recorded their version in the 1950s. Later variations came from many artists including Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Judy Collins, and Ginger Baker's Air Force.
