(Trad., arr. by Mark Erelli)
|
|
When the sun goes 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
|
|
CHORUS
|
Follow the drinking gourd
|
Follow the drinking gourd
|
For the old man is waiting for to carry you to freedom
|
Follow the drinking gourd
|
|
The riverbed makes a mighty fine road
|
Dead trees to show you the way
|
And it's 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
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
I thought I heard the angels say
|
Follow the drinking gourd
|
The stars in heaven gonna show you the way
|
Follow the drinking gourd
|
