Follow the Drinking Gourd
When the sun goes back and the night time falls
Follow the drinking gourd
When the stars come out and the first quail calls
Follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd, follow the drinking gourd
Well, the old man's a' waiting for to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd...
Well the banks of the river make a mighty good road
Follow the drinking gourd
And the burden I'm a carryin' is a heavy load, follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd, follow the drinking gourd
Well, the old man's a' waiting for to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd...
I gotta run for they comin' after me, follow the drinking gourd
Big Dipper leads to the land of the free, follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd, follow the drinking gourd
Well, the old man's a' waiting for to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd...
Follow (follow, follow)
Follow the drinking gourd
When the stars come out and the first quail calls
Follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd, follow the drinking gourd
Well, the old man's a' waiting for to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd...
Well the banks of the river make a mighty good road
Follow the drinking gourd
And the burden I'm a carryin' is a heavy load, follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd, follow the drinking gourd
Well, the old man's a' waiting for to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd...
I gotta run for they comin' after me, follow the drinking gourd
Big Dipper leads to the land of the free, follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd, follow the drinking gourd
Well, the old man's a' waiting for to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd...
Follow (follow, follow)
