My man's gone now

Ain't no use a listening

For his tired footsteps

Climbing up the stairs

Old man sorrow's

Come to keep me company

Whisperin' beside me

When I say my prayers

Ain't that I mind working

Workin' means travelers

Journeying togheter

To the promised land

But old man sorrow

Mounting all the way with me

Tell me that I'm old now

Since I lose my man

Since I lose man

Old man sorrow's

Sitting by the fireside

Lying all night long

By me in the bed

Since my man is dead

Since my man is dead

Since my man

Since my man is dead
