Old Black Joe Songtext
von Al Jolson

Gone are the days when my heart was young and gay
Gone are my friends from the cotton fields away
Gone from the earth to a better land, I know
I hear the gentle voices callin′
Old black Joe


I'm a-comin′, I'm a-comin'
For my head is bendin′ low
I hear the gentle voices callin′
Old black Joe

Where are the hearts, once so happy and so free
To cheer when so dear that I held upon my knees?
Gone to the shore where my soul has longed to go
I hear the gentle voices calling old black Joe

I'm a-comin′, I'm a-comin′
For my head is bending low
I hear those gentle voices calling
Old black Joe
