Lyric My Man s Gone Now

George Gershwin, DuBose Heyward

My man s gone now
Ain t no use a listenin
For his tired footsteps
Climbin up the stairs

Old man sorrow s
Come to keep me company
Whisperin beside me
When I say my prayers
When I say my prayers

He come aroud
He come up, he come around
Ain t that I mind workin
Workin means travelers
Journeyin togheter
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
