Old Black Joe

LP 판의 직직거리는 소리가 일품인 1900년 초 무렵의 Old black Joe.

남성4부 제대로 화음 들리네요.
우리도 점점 늙어가서 언젠가는 역사가 되겠죠? 그리고 Black Joe 처럼 과거를 회상 하겠죠?
고등학교 시절 중창으로 자주 부르던 노래, 그 시절이 생각난다. 갑자기.....

OLD BLACK JOE
Music and Lyrics By Stephen C. Foster


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 their gentle voices calling "Old Black Joe."

chorus:
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 that my friends come not again?
Grieving for forms now departed long ago.
I hear their gentle voices calling "Old Black Joe."

chorus

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."
