Cécile McLorin Salvant - Dreams and Daggers

My Man's Gone Now

My man's gone now
Ain't no use a-listening
For his tired footsteps
Climbin' up the stairs

Aah
Aah

Old Man Sorrow's
Come to keep me company
Whispering beside me
When I say my prayers

Aah
Aah

Ain't that I mind workin'
Work and me is travellers
Journeying together
To the Promised Land

But Old Man Sorrow's
Marching all the way with me
Telling me I'm old now
Since I lose my man

Since I lose my man

Old Man Sorrow's
Sittin' by the fireplace
Lyin' 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

Aah

Since my man is dead

Ooh
Ooh

Thank you very much
