Follow the Drinking Gourd
When the sun comes back
And the first quail calls
Follow the drinking gourd,
For the old man is a-waiting for to carry you to freedom
If you follow the drinking gourd
The riverbank makes a very good road
The dead trees will show you the way
Left foot, peg foot, travelling on,
Follow the drinking gourd
The river ends between two hills
Follow the drinking gourd
There is another river on the other side
Follow the drinking gourd
When the great big river meets the little river
Follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is a-waiting for to carry to freedom
If you follow the drinking gourd
And the first quail calls
Follow the drinking gourd,
For the old man is a-waiting for to carry you to freedom
If you follow the drinking gourd
The riverbank makes a very good road
The dead trees will show you the way
Left foot, peg foot, travelling on,
Follow the drinking gourd
The river ends between two hills
Follow the drinking gourd
There is another river on the other side
Follow the drinking gourd
When the great big river meets the little river
Follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is a-waiting for to carry to freedom
If you follow the drinking gourd
