Julie London — My Mans Gone Now

My man's gone now, ain't no use of listenin' For his tired footsteps climbin' up the stairs Old man sorrow come to keep me company Whispering beside me when I say my prayers Ain't that I mind workin', workin' me is travelers Journeyin' together to the promised land 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, since I lose my man Old man sorrow sitting by the fireplace Lying 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 gone Since my man is gone
