Nina Simone - My Man's Gone Now lyrics

[Verse 1] My man's gone now Ain't no use a listenin' For his tired footsteps Climbin' up the stairs [Ad-Libs] [Verse 2] Old man sorrow's Come to keep me company Whisperin' beside me When I say my prayers When I say my prayers [Ad-Libs] [Verse 3] He come around He come up, he come around Ain't that I mind workin' Workin' means travelers Journeyin' together To the promise land [Verse 4] 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 [Ad-Libs] [Outro] Since I lose my man
