Old Black Joe

Old Black Joe Sheet Music

by Foster

Old Black Joe was written by Stephen Foster, in 1860 and published in New York by Firth, Pond & Co. "Old Black Joe" is a parlor and minstrel‑style song by American songwriter Stephen Foster, and its text reflects the nostalgic voice of an elderly enslaved man. First issued in 1860, it became one of Foster’s best‑known songs and has been widely performed and arranged, though its minstrel roots have also prompted critical reassessment in modern times.
