Paul Robeson

Poor old Joe (Audio)

Gone are the days when my heart was young and gay
Gone are my friends from cotton fields away,  
gone from the Earth to a better land, I know
I hear those gentle voices calling poor old Joe.

(Chorus:)
|: I'm coming :| for my head is bending low 
I hear those gentle voices calling poor old Joe :|

Instrumental

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 poor old Joe.

Chorus
