Song: Old black Joe 

Gone are the days when my heart was young and gay
Gone are my friends from the cotton fields away
Gone from this earth, to a better place 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
Joe, Joe, a-go-go-go!

I'm coming, yeah honey I'm coming
For my head is bending low
I hear those gentle voices calling
Old black, old black, old black Joe!

Song: Old black Joe 


Gone are the days
When my heart was young and gay.
Gone are my friends
From the cotton fields away.
Gone from this place,
To a better land I know.
I hear their gentle voices calling:
Old Black Joe

Chorus:
I'm coming, I'm coming
For my head is bending low
I hear their gentle voices calling
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 voices calling:
Old Black Joe.
Chorus:

Where are the hearts
Once so happy and so free
The children so dear
That I held upon my knee
Gone to the shore
Where my soul has longed to go
I hear their gentle voices calling:
Old Black Joe.
Chorus:
