My Man's Gone Now

My Man's gone now
Ain't no use a listenin'
For his tired footsteps
Climbin' up the stairs.

Old man sorrows
Come to keep me company
Whisperin' beside me
When I say my prayers
When I say my prayers.

He come around
He come up, he come around
Ain't that I mind workin'
Workin' means travelers
Journeyin' together
To the promised land.

But old man sorrow
Mountin' all the way with me
Tell me that I'm old now
Since I lose my man
Since I lose my man.

Since I lose my man.
