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» |
