Follow the Drinking Gourd

When the sun comes back and the first quail calls

Follow the drinking gourd

The old man is waiting for to carry you to freedom

Follow the drinking gourd

Follow the drinking gourd

Follow the drinking gourd

For the old man is waiting for to carry you to freedom

Follow the drinking gourd

Riverbed makes a mighty fine road

The dead trees will show you the way

And it’s left foot, peg foot traveling on

Follow the drinking gourd

The river ends between two hills

Follow the drinking gourd

There’s another river on the other side

Follow the drinking gourd

Follow the drinking gourd

Follow the drinking gourd

For the old man is waiting for to carry you to freedom

Follow the drinking gourd

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

Follow the drinking gourd

Follow the drinking gourd

For the old man is waiting for to carry you to freedom

Follow the drinking gourd

Follow the drinking gourd

Follow the drinking gourd

For the old man is waiting for to carry you to freedom

Follow the drinking gourd
