George gershwin, dubose heyward

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
