Классическая песня Стивена Фостера.
Типа романс американского разлива.
Emerson believes that the song's "soft melancholy" and its "elusive undertone" (rather than anything musical), brings the song closest to the traditional African American spiritual.

Gone are the days when my heart was young and gay
Gone from this earth to the cotton fields away
Gone from the earth to a better land I know
I hear their gentle voices calling, Old Black Joe
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 when my friends come not again
Grieving for forms now departed long ago
I hear their gentle voices calling, Old Black Joe
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
