Follow The Drinking Gourd

Follow the drinking gourd (x2)
For the old man is a-waiting for to carry you to Freedom
Follow the drinking gourd.

Now when the night-time comes, and the first quail calls
Follow the drinking gourd,
For the old man is a-waiting for to carry you to Freedom

Now the river bank would make a mighty good road,
The dead trees will show you the way,
Left foot, peg foot, travelling 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.
