QUOTATION: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.”
ATTRIBUTION:Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1864), U.S. songwriter. “Old Black Joe,” Firth, Pond & Co. (1860).

Music composed by George Gershwin (1898-1937).
