My Mans Gone Now

Ahhh Mmmmm Ahhhh Ahhhh Mmmm Verse 2: Riff Old man sorrow’s Riff Come to keep me company Whisperin’ beside me Riff When I say my prayers When I say my prayers Riff four times (Improvise over Riff) N.C. Ahhh Mmmmm Ahhhh Ahhhh Mmmm Verse 3: Riff He come around Riff He come up he come around Riff Ain’t that I mind workin’ Workin’ means travelers Journeyin’ together Riff To the promised land Outro (Freely) 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 Riff four times (Improvise over Riff) N.C. Ahhh Mmmmm Ahhhh Ahhhh Mmmm Since I lose my man
