My Man’s Gone Now Julie London

My man's gone now, ain't no use of 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 travelers
Journeyin' together to the promised land

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

Telling me the same thing, morning, noon, and evening
That I'm all alone now since my man is gone
Since my man is gone
