Carmen McRae - Porgy And Bess

My Man's Gone Now

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

Old man sorrows
Come to keep me company
Whisperin' beside me
When I say my prayers

Ain't that I mind workin'
Work and me is travelers
Journeyin' together
To the promised land

But old man sorrows
Marching all the way with me
Telling me, I'm old now
Since I lose my man
Since I lose my man

Old man sorrows
Sittin' by the fire place
Lying all night long
Find 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
