Lyrics

(Source: Todd's George & Ira Gershwin Lyrics Page)

	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 around,
	He come up, he come around,
	Ain't that I mind workin;'
	Workin' means travelers
	Journeyin' together
	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.
