Nina Simone - My Man’s Gone Now lyrics
[Nina Simone - My Man’s Gone Now lyrics]
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 promise land
But old man sorrow
Mountin' all the way with me
Tellin' me that I'm old now
Since I lose my man since I lose my man
Since I lose my man
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 promise land
But old man sorrow
Mountin' all the way with me
Tellin' me that I'm old now
Since I lose my man since I lose my man
Since I lose my man
