My Man's Gone Now

My Man's Gone Now - Ella Fitzgerald

My man's gone now

Ain't no use a listenin'

For his tired footsteps

Climbin' up the stairs

Ah old man sorrow's

Come to keep me company

Whisperin' beside me

When I say my prayers

Ah

Ain't that a mine working

Working I and I travellers

Journeying together to the promised land

But old man sorrow's

Marching all the way with me

Telling me I'm old now since I lost my man

Since I lost my man

Old man sorrow's sitting by the fireside

Lying all night long by me in the bed

Telling me the same thing morning

Noon and evening

That I'm all alone now since my man is dead

Ah since my man is dead

Ah
