My Man’s Gone Now

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My man's gone now Ain't no use a-listening For his tired footsteps Climbing up the stairs Ah, ah [Verse 2] Old Man Sorrow's Come to keep me company Whispering beside me When I say my prayers Ah, ah [Bridge] Ain't that I mind working Work and me are travelers Journeying together To the promised land But Old Man Sorrow's Marching all the way with me Tellin' me I'm old now Since I lose my man Since I lose my man [Verse 3] Old Man Sorrow's Sittin' by the fireplace Lyin' all night long By me in the bed [Bridge] Tellin' me the same thing Morning, noon and evening That I'm all alone now Since my man is dead Ah, since my man is dead [Outro] Ah
