My Man's Gone Now

My man's gone now

Ain't no use a-listenin'

For his tired footsteps

Climbin' up the stairs

Ah, ah

Old Man Sorrow's

Come to keep me company

Whisperin' beside me

When I say my prayers

Ah, ah

Ain't that I mind workin'

Work and me is travelers

Journeyin' together

To the promised land

But Old Man Sorrow's

Marchin' all the way with me

Tellin' me I'm old now

Since I lose my man

Since she lose her man

Since I lose my man

Ah, ah

Old Man Sorrow

Sittin' by the fireplace

Lyin' all night long

By me in the bed

Tellin' me the same thing

Mornin', noon and evenin'

That I'm all alone now

Since my man is dead

Ah, since my man is dead

Ah

Ah, ah
