My Man's Gone Now — Nina Simone

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 When I say my prayers

He come aroud He come up, he come around 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

Since I lose my man
