My Man's Gone Now [With Scenes from Porgy and Bess]
by Michael Tilson Thomas, San Francisco Symphony
on George Gershwin: The 100th Birthday Celebration
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'
Work n' me is travelers
Journeyin' together
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
