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 Oh, oh Old man sorrow's come to keep me company Whispering beside me when I say my prayers Oh, oh [Verse 2] Ain't that I mind working, work and me is travellers Journeying together to the promised land But ol' 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 [Verse 3] Ol' 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 dead Oh, since my man is dead
