My Man's Gone Now
Lyrics
My man's gone now
Ain't no use of listenin'
For his tired footsteps climbin'
Up the stairs
Old man sorrow come to keep me company
Whispering beside me when I say my prayers
Ain't that I mind workin'
Workin' me is travelers
Journeyin' together to the promised land
Old man sorrow's marching all
The way with me
Telling me I'm old now, since I lose my man
Since I lose my man, since I lose my man
Old man sorrow sitting by the fireplace
Lying all night long by me in the bed
Telling me the same thing, morning, noon
And evening
That I'm all alone now since my man is gone
Since my man is gone
