| The riverbank makes a very good road
|
| The dead trees will show you the way
|
| Left foot, peg foot traveling on
|
| Follow the drinking gourd
|
| The river ends between two hills
|
| Follow the drinking gourd
|
| There’s another tree 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 waiting for to carry you to freedom
|
| If you follow the drinking gourd
|
| When the sun comes back and the first quail cries
|
| Follow the drinking gourd
|
| For the old man is waiting for to carry you to freedom
|
| If you follow the drinking gourd |
