My Man's Gone Now
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong 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

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
Sint that i mind working working i a travellers journeying together to the promised land I say my prayers
He come aroud
He come up, he come around
Ain't that I mind workin'
Workin' means travelers
Journeyin' togheter
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

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!

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

@MrBassflute

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

@robertofernandesbastos218

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

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

@jazzyscookie

Attached Carmen's version to this video
