Porgy & Bess movie - My Man's Gone Now lyrics

rate me

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

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
