SERENA'S VOICE

My man's gone now,
Ain't no use alistening'
For his tired foot-steps
Climbin' up the stairs, ah!
Ole Man Sorrow
Come to keep me comp'ny,
Wisperin' beside me
When I say my prayers, ah!
Ain't dat I min' workin'
Work an' me is travellers
Journeyin' togedder
To the promise land.
But Ole Man Sorrow's
Marchin' all de way wid me
Tellin' me I'm ole now
Since I lose my man

Serena, Porgy and Bess, George Gershwin
