My man's gone now

Ain't no use a listening

For his tired footsteps

Climbing up the stairs

Ooh ooh ooh

Old man sorrows

Come to keep me company

Whispering beside me

When I say my prayers

Ooh ooh ooh

Ain't that I mind working

Working me is travelers

Journeying together

To the promised land

What 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

Since I lose my man

Ooh ooh

Old man sorrow

Sitting by the fire place

Lying all night long

Find me in the bed

Telling me the same thing

More than noon and evening

That I'm all alone now

Since my man is gone

Ooh ooh ooh

Since my man is gone

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
