My man's gone now Ain't no use a-listening For his tired footsteps Climbin' up the stairs Aah Aah Old Man Sorrow's Come to keep me company Whispering beside me When I say my prayers Aah Aah Ain't that I mind workin' Work and me is travellers Journeying together To the Promised Land But 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 ♪ Old Man Sorrow's Sittin' by the fireplace Lyin' 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 Aah Since my man is dead Ooh Ooh ♪ Thank you very much
