[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
My man's gone now
Ain't no use a-listenin'
For his tired footsteps
Climbin' up the stairs
Ah
[Verse 2]
Old Man Sorrow
Come to keep me company
Whisperin' beside me
When I say my prayers
Ah, ah
[Chorus]
Ain't that I mind workin'
Work and me is travelers
Journeyin' together
To the promised land
But Old Man Sorrow's
Marchin' all the way with me
Tellin' me I'm old now
Since I lose my man
Since I lose my man
Since I lose my man
[Verse 3]
Old Man Sorrow's
Sittin' by the fireplace
Lyin' all night long
By me in the bed
Ah, ah
[Flugelhorn Solo]
[Verse 4]
Old Man Sorrow's
Marchin' all the way with me
Tellin' me I'm old now
Sincе I lose my man
Ah
[Verse 3]
Old Man Sorrow
Sittin' by the fireplacе
Lyin' all night long
By me in the bed
[Chorus]
Tellin' me the same thing
Mornin', noon and evenin'
That I'm all alone now
Since my man is dead
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Tellin' me the same thing
Mornin', noon and evenin'
That I'm all alone now
Since my man is dead
My man is dead
Ah, ooh
Since my man is dead
