Goodbye Eric, R.I.P. Bro-----------,, Why do I weep,

中学校で、英語の歌詞で学習した始めての曲です。

Sudhanshu Tiwary

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 those 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". Chorus

Eight months ago, the night before my 90 year old father died, he sang part of this song. He heard the gentle voices calling his name.

I had a song book that had this song in it circa 1964. I played piano then and after all this time (I'm 60) I remember playing it. I really loved this song and am happy that I could re-connect. Wish I had the songbook.

Me too. This song remind me of him. I still can imagine he sang this song. I grin for this beautiful memory with tear.

unfortunately, the author of this song had to sell old black joe! Fuck, it sure was nice of him to write this song, makes me cry everytime whitey shows how barbaric and savage he really is even when he is trying not to be.

My daddy used to sing this to me when I was very young, around 5 or so, and I would cry and cry. Now hearing this after all these years, I still cry. I don't know if I'm crying for Old Black Joe or my father who's been gone over 20 years now. Probably both. <3

A song so beautiful and so sad. Please we must keep it out of hate and racist comments.

My mom used to sing this to me when I was little. It was so beautiful and sad. Now as an adult I can view it in a more historical context, but it is still a beautiful, sad song.
