[Verse 1]
My man's gone now
Ain't no use a-listenin'
For his tired footsteps
Climbin' up the stairs
[Verse 2]
Old man sorrow's
Come to keep me company
Whisperin' beside me
When I say my prayers
When I say my prayers
[Verse 3]
He come around
He come up
He come around
Ain't that I mind workin'
Workin' means travelers
Journeyin' together
To the promise land
[Verse 4]
But old man sorrow
Mountin' all the way with me
Tellin' me that I'm old now
Since I lose my man
Since I lose my man
[Outro]
Since I lose my man
