My Man's Gone Now

My man's gone now Ain't no use a listenin' For his tired footsteps Climbin' up the stairs Ahhh, ahhh Old man sorrows Come to keep me company Whisperin' beside me When I say my prayers Ahhh, ahhh Ain't that I mind workin' Work and I are travelers Journeyin' together To the promised land But old man sorrows Marchin' all the way with me Tellin' me I'm old now Since I lost my man Since I lost my man Old man sorrows Sittin' by the fireplace Lyin' all night long By me in the bed Tellin' me the same thing Mornin', noon and evening That I'm all alone now Since my man is dead Ahhhhh Since my man is dead Ahhhhh ahhh
