[Verse 1]
My gal's gone now
Ain't no use in listening
For her tired footsteps
Climbing up the stairs

[Verse 2]
Old man sorrows
Come to keep me company
Whispering beside me
When I say my prayers

[Verse 3]
Ain't that I mind working
Working in me is travellers
Journeying together to the promised land
But old man sorrows
Marching all the way with me
Telling me I'm old now
Since my woman is gone
Since my woman is gone
Since my woman is gone

[Verse 4]
Old man sorrow
Sitting by the fireplace
Lying all night long
With me in my bed
Telling me the same thing
Morning, noon and еvening
That I'm all alone now
Since my woman is gonе
Since my woman is gone
