My Man's Gone Now

My man is gone now

Ain't no use of listening

For his tired footsteps
Climbing up the stairs

Old man sorrow
Come to keep me company

Whispering beside me
When I say my prayers

Ain't that I mind working
Working me is travelers
Journeying together
To the promised land
But 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

Old man sorrow

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
Telling me I'm old now
Since I lose my man
Old man sorrow

Sitting by the fire place
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 dead

Telling me the same thing
Morning, noon and evening
That I'm all alone now
Since my man is dead
My man is dead
Since my man is dead
