My mans gone nowAint no use a listeninFor his tired footstepsClimbin up the stairsOld man sorrowsCome to keep me companyWhisperin beside meWhen I say my prayersWhen I say my prayersHe come aroudHe come up, he come aroundAint that I mind workinWorkin means travelersJourneyin togheterTo the promised landBut old man sorrowMountin all the way with meTell me that Im old nowSince I lose my manSince I lose my manSince I lose my man [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/ella_fitzgerald/my_mans_gone_now.html ]
