Lyrics My Man's Gone Now - Digitally Remastered - Carmen McRae

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

Ain't that I mind workin'
Work and me is travelers
Journeyin' together to the promised land

But old man sorrow
Marchin' 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 sitting by the fireplace
Lying all night long by me in the bed
Telling me the same thing morning, noon, and night
That I'm all alone now
Since my man is dead

Since my man is dead
