Old Black Joe - Jerry Lee Lewis

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»
