Ol' Black Joe - Runaway Dixie
Written by:Stephen Foster
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
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
Though my head
My head is bending low
I hear those gentle voices calling
Old black Joe
Where are the heart
Once was happy and free
Through the cotton fields
I here it call my name
Gone to the shore
Where my soul has longed to be
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 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 my head is bending low
I hear those gentle voices calling
Old black Joe
Old black Joe
Old black Joe
