lyrics

When the sun comes back and the first quail calls
Follow the drinking gourd
follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is a-waiting for to carry you to freedom
If you follow the drinking gourd

Chorus:
Follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is a-waiting for to carry you to freedom
If you follow the drinking gourd.

The riverbank will make a mighty good road
The dead trees will show you the way
Left foot, peg foot carrying 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:

When the great big river meets the little river
Follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is a-waiting for to carry you to freedom
If you follow the drinking gourd

Chorus (two times)

For the old man is a-waiting for to carry you to freedom
If you follow the drinking gourd.
