Fitzgerald, Ella - My Man's Gone Now 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'
Workin' means 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

  1. M.... W....

    Marjorie Black... you have anger issues.

  2. M.... B....

    This is obviously playing at the wrong speed. Obviously. Yet neither you -- another youtube idiot for sure -- nor the flatulent morons commenting here could figure it out (if your musical lives depended on it).

    M.... B....

    Funny that you don't recognize her voice. As if it had been slowed down. Unbelievable hahahahaha

    M.... B....

    Are you an idiot? I read your words, but they make no sense. Hey, your grammar school really sucks. Tell your mom to find you a literate teacher.

    M.... B....

    Literally not one mistake in what I wrote back to you. Get back to me when you have legitimate responses. :)

    M.... B....

    Literally? Did you just use the word "literally?" You shouldn't be allowed to use the word. But, alas, it's a free country. Go ahead. Just don't pretend you know what it means, ok?

    M.... B....

    @Marjorie Black Hahaha. It's alright, sweetie. You tried your best! If it helps, I give you my word you're wrong about the upload. You're welcome. ❤

  3. R.... F....

    Ella can not have the pathos of Mc Rae, but her voice and sense of the melody are so strong that made her version unpair

    R.... F....

    Roberto Fernandes Bastos I love Carmen's version. 🌷💟💟💟

  4. C.... H....

    Love Ella and Louis...listen to Audra McDonald's performance of the classical version.

    C.... H....

    Cameron Hood have to do that

  5. I.... C....

    Spectacular jazz arrangement of the Gershwin classic, performed by an amazing jazz string & horn section arranged by jazz genius Russell Garcia and sung by the immortal Ella Fitzgerald.  Congratulations on your web journey to this location on the Internet where the soul of music never dies!  This version is the standard against which all others must be judged!

    Thanks for posting this!

  6. L.... C....

    Just listened to Carmen McRae's and am in total agreement with jazzyscookie (although Ella's voice is that of Hashem.)

    L.... C....

    Larry Cohen I feel my heart and Carmen's version match close to the lyrics.

  7. L.... C....

    Wow, so far the only vocal version I liked...(?)

  8. J.... ....

    Attached Carmen's version to this video

  9. J.... ....

    You may find Carmen McRae's more convincing :) Know exactly what you mean :)

  10. D.... ....

    I love Ella, but this is just too soft of a take for my liking.... I don't believe the ache in it, I guess.

  11. E.... P....

    Sometimes, the best can born from a combination of many talents. Often, it can't pleasing to everyone...

  12. C.... ....

    It's certainly an amazing performance, but it's not the original. Porgy and Bess was premiered in 1935.

  13. M.... B....

    many good covers of this but none can even come close to the original. they're nothing but royalty
