Chorus
Follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is 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 waitin' for to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd. (Chorus)

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. (Chorus)

The river ends between two hills
Follow the drinking gourd
There's another river on the other side
Follow the drinking gourd. (Chorus)

I thought I heard the angels say
Follow the drinking gourd
The stars in the heavens gonna show you the way
Follow the drinking gourd. (Chorus)

Lyric

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 tree 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 waiting for to carry you to freedom
If you follow the drinking gourd

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