After Robbins is murdered by Crown during an argument at a dice game, Robbins' widow Serena sings this aria over her husband’s corpse, joined by the other people of Catfish Row.
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 was written by George Gershwin & DuBose Heyward.
George Gershwin released My Man’s Gone Now on Mon Sep 30 1935.
