"Man of Constant Sorrow" (also known as "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow") is a traditional American folk song first published by Dick Burnett, a partially blind fiddler from Kentucky. It was titled "Farewell Song" in a songbook by Burnett dated to around 1913. A version recorded by Emry Arthur in 1928 gave the song its current titles.
His play on "Man of Constant Sorrow" suggests he traveled extensively, possibly through Appalachia. He is known for recording songs about being an outlaw, despite being legally blind. [ 5 ] Delta Blind Billy is not to be confused with the earlier musician, Blind Billy, who was a former slave.
Burnett has been described as "one of the great natural songsters, a man who collected, codified, and transmitted some of our best traditional songs. Dick was also a skilful composer and folk poet of considerable skill; his "Man of Constant Sorrow" remains one of the most evocative country songs." [1]

It's clearly a variation of the same song. Different people have written different lyrics to the song, and they can also have completely different tune. Have a listen to Joan Baez's Girl of Constant Sorrow or Bob Dylan's version and you'll see that they have different tunes from Stanley Brothers' or Soggy Bottom Boys' versions.
