My Man's Gone Now - from "Porgy and Bess" G.Gershwin
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' 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 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 evening, That I'm all alone now since my man is dead. since my man is dead.
