Old Black Joe
Gone are the days when my heart was young and gay
Gone are the toils of the cotton fields away
Gone to the fields of a better land I know
I hear those gentle voices calling, «Old Black Joe»
I’m coming, I’m coming
For my head is bending low
I hear those gentle voices calling, «Old Black Joe»
I’m coming home (I'm coming home)
I’m coming home (I'm coming home)
Oh-oh my head is bending low
I hear those gentle voices calling, «Old Black Joe»
Old Black Joe, Old Black Joe, Old Black Joe
Why do I weep when my heart should feel no pain?
Why do I sigh that my friends come not again?
Grieving for forms now departed long ago
I hear their gentle voice calling, «Old Black Joe»
Where are the hearts once so happy and free?
The children so dear that I held upon my knee?
Gone to the shore where my soul has long’d to go
I hear their gentle voice calling, «Old Black Joe»
