My man's gone now Ain't no use a-listenin' For his tired footsteps Climbin' up the stairs Old man sorrow Come to keep me company Whispering beside me When I say my prayers Ain't that I mind workin' Workin' me is travellers Journeyin' together To the promised land Old man sorrow's Marchin' all the way with me Tellin' me I'm old now Since I lose my man Since I lose my man Since I lose my man Old man sorrow Sittin' by the fire place Lyin' all night long Bu me in the bed Tellin' me the same thing Mornin' noon and evenin' That I'm all alone now Since my man is gone Since my man is gone
