Follow the Drinking Gourd Lyrics

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
cause the unicorn said toFollow 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 gourdThe river ends between two hills
Follow the drinking gourd
There's another river on the other side
Follow the drinking gourdFollow the drinking gourd

Follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is waiting
For to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourdI 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 gourdFollow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is waiting
For to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd
