Gone are my friends from the cotton fields away；我的伙伴也離開(kāi)了棉花田
Gone from the earth to a better land I know，離開(kāi)這里到一個(gè)更好的地方，我知道
I hear their gentle voices calling， "Old Black Joe！" 我聽(tīng)見(jiàn)他們?nèi)崧暫魡?br />
（Refrain：） I'm coming， I'm coming， for my head is bending low；?老黑喬！?（反復(fù)）
I hear their gentle voices calling，我來(lái)了，我來(lái)了，因?yàn)槲业念^漸漸低垂；
"Old Black Joe！" 我聽(tīng)見(jiàn)他們?nèi)崧暫魡?老黑喬！?

Why do I weep when my heart should feel no pain? 我為何哭泣，我心并不悲傷?
Why do I sigh that my friends come not again? 我為何要嘆息伙伴不復(fù)來(lái)?
Grieving for forms now departed long ago，只為懷念早已逝去的人，
I hear their gentle voices calling，我聽(tīng)見(jiàn)他們?nèi)崧暫魡?br />
"Old Black Joe！"?老黑喬！?

Where are thee hearts once so happy and so free? 昔日快樂(lè)無(wú)羈的人們，如今安在?
The children so dear that I held upon my knee? 還有，我抱在膝上可愛(ài)的小家伙?
Gone to the shore where my soul has longed to go，他們都已到了我靈魂所渴望去的海岸，
I hear their gentle voices calling，我聽(tīng)見(jiàn)他們?nèi)崧暫魡?br />
"Old Black Joe！"?老黑喬！?
