Follow the Drinking Gourd lyrics

When the Sun comes back

And the first quail calls

Follow the Drinking Gourd,

For the old man is awaiting 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, 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.

When the great big river meets the little river

Follow the Drinking Gourd.

For the old man is awaiting for to carry to freedom

If you follow the Drinking Gourd.
