Lyrics

My man's gone now
Ain't no use a-listenin'
For his tired footsteps
Climbin' up the stairs
Ah, ah
Old Man Sorrow's
Come to keep me company
Whisperin' beside me
When I say my prayers
Ah, ah
Ain't that I mind workin'
Work and me is travelers
Journeyin' together
To the promised land
But Old Man Sorrow's
Marchin' all the way with me
Tellin' me I'm old now
Since I lose my man
Since she lose her man
Since I lose my man
Ah, ah
Old Man Sorrow
Sittin' by the fireplace
Lyin' all night long
By me in the bed
Tellin' me the same thing
Mornin', noon and evenin'
That I'm all alone now
Since my man is dead
Ah, since my man is dead
Ah
Ah, ah
