Gone are the days
When my heart was young and gay
Gone are toils
Of the cotton fields away
Gone to the fields
Of a better land, I know
I hear those gentle voices callin’ me
Old black Joe

I’m comin’, I’m comin’
Though my head is bendin’ low
I hear those gentle voices calling
Old black Joe

I’m comin’ home (I’m comin’ home)
Well, I’m comin’ home (I’m comin’ home)
Though my head (my head, my head is bendin’ low)
I hear those gentle voices calling
Old black Joe

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 comin’ home (I’m comin’ home)
Oh, an’ I’m comin’ home (I’m comin’ home)
Well oh well, my head (my head) is bendin’ low
I hear those gentle voices calling
Old black Joe

I’m comin’ home (I’m comin’ home)
Oh, an’ I’m comin’ home (I’m comin’ home)
Can ya see my head (my head) is bendin’ low
I hear those gentle voices calling
Old black Joe

Van Morrison (George Ivan Morrison, born 31 August 1945) is a Northern Irish singer-songwriter and musician. He first appeared in the U.S. as a member of the band, Them, then in the late 60s started a solo career.

Morrison has released over 30 albums and continues to record and tour.

Much of Morrison’s music is rooted in soul and rhythm and blues, but another part of his catalog is a long list of spiritually-inspired songs that point to his Celtic tradition.
