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
