Follow the Drinking Gourd |
| Follow the drinking gourd, follow the drinking gourd |
| For the old man is a-waitin' to carry you to freedom |
| 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 a-waitin' to carry you to freedom |
| Follow the drinking gourd |
| Now 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 |
| Follow the drinking gourd, follow the drinking gourd |
| For the old man is a-waitin' to carry you to freedom |
| 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 a-waitin' to carry you to freedom |
| Follow the drinking gourd |
