Sarah Vaughan and Hal Mooney Orchestra - My Man's Gone Now

My man's gone now
Ain't no use a listenin'
For his tired footsteps
Climbin' up the stairs
Oh, oh
Old man sorrows
Come to keep me company
Whisperin' beside me
When I say my prayers
When I say my prayers

Ain't that I mind workin'
Workin' means travelers
Journeyin' together
To the promised land
But old man sorrows
Mountin' 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' on my floor
By me in the bed
Tellin' me the same thing morning, noon and evening
That I'm all alone now since my man is dead
Oh
Since my man is dead
Oh, ah, eeh
