"My Man's Gone Now" lyrics - CECILE MCLORIN SALVANT

My man's gone now
Ain't no use a-listening
For his tired footsteps
Climbin' up the stairs
Ah, ah

Old man sorrow's
Come to keep me company
Whispering beside me
When I say my prayers
Ah, ah

[Chorus:]
Ain't that I mind workin'
Work and me is travelers
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

[Chorus:]
Telling me the same thing
Morning, noon and evening
That I'm all alone now
Since my man is dead
Ah
Since my man is dead

[Post-Chorus:]
Mmm, oh
Oh

[Outro:]
Thank you very much
