My Man’s Gone Now Diahann Carroll

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
Whisperin' beside me
When I say my prayers

Ain't that I mind workin'
Workin' means travelers
Journeyin' together
To the promised land

But old man sorrows
Marchin' all the way with me
Tellin' me that I'm old now
Since I lose my man
Since I lose my man

Old man sorrow
Sittin' by the fireplace
Lyin' all night long
Burnin' my bed
