George gershwin, dubose heyward



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
