Follow the Drinking Gourd
Refrain:
Follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is waitin'
To carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd.
When the sun goes back and the first quail calls,
Follow the drinking gourd
The old man is waitin' for
To carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd.
Refrain:
The river bank makes a mighty fine road,
The dead trees show you the way
And it's left foot,
Peg foot, traveling on
Follow the drinking gourd.
Refrain:
The river ends between two hills
Follow the drinking gourd
There's another river on the other side
Follow the drinking gourd.
Refrain:
Where the great big river meets the little river,
Follow the Drinking Gourd.
For the old man is awaiting
To carry you to freedom if you
Follow the Drinking Gourd.
Refrain:
I thought I heard the angels say
Follow the drinking gourd
The stars in the heavens
Gonna show you the way
Follow the drinking gourd.
