| Follow The Drinking Gourd When the sun goes back and the first quail calls Follow the drinking gourd The old man is a-waitin' for to carry you to freedom Follow the drinking gourd Follow the drinking gourd Follow the drinking gourd. For the old man is waiting to carry you to freedom Follow the drinking gourd. The river bed makes a mighty fine road, Dead trees to show you the way And it's left foot, peg foot, traveling on Follow the drinking gourd CHORUS The river ends between two hills Follow the drinking gourd There's another river on the other side Follow the drinking gourd CHORUS 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 |
