(Reflection:反映)

 

(1st verse)

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 that 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.

 

(2nd verse)

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 that gentle voices calling Old Black Joe.

                      (chorus)
