[Verse 1]
My man's gone now
Ain't no use a-listenin'
For his tired footsteps
Climbin' up the stairs
Ah, ah

[Verse 2]
Old Man Sorrow's
Come to keep me company
Whisperin' beside me
When I say my prayers
Ah, ah

[Bridge]
Ain't that I mind workin'
Work and I are travelers
Journeyin' together
To the promised land
But Old Man Sorrow's
Watchin' all the way with me
Tellin' me I'm old now
Since I lost my man
Since I lost my man

[Verse 3]
Old Man Sorrow's
Sitting by the fireplace
Lyin' all night long
By me in the bed
Tellin' 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
[Outro]
Ah, ah
