My Man’s Gone Now Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

My man′s gone now
Ain't no use a listenin′
For his tired footsteps
Climbin' up the stairs

Ahhh, ahhh

Old man sorrows
Come to keep me company
Whisperin' beside me
When I say my prayers

Ahhh, ahhh

Ain′t that I mind workin′
Work and I are travelers
Journeyin' together
To the promised land


But old man sorrows
Marchin′ all the way with me
Tellin' me I′m old now
Since I lost my man

Since I lost my man

Old man sorrows
Sittin' by the fireplace
Lyin′ all night long
By me in the bed

Tellin' me the same thing
Mornin', noon and evening
That I′m all alone now
Since my man is dead

Ahhhhh
Since my man is dead

Ahhhhh ahhh
