[Eric Bibb - Drinkin' Gourd lyrics]
When the first quail calls
Follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is waiting for
To carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd
Well, the riverbank is a mighty good road
Dead trees show you the way
Left foot, peg foot, travelling on
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 gourd
Well, the river ends between two hills
Follow the drinking gourd
There's another river on the other side
Follow the drinking gourd
Where the little river meets
The great big one follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is waiting for
To carry you to freedom
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 gourd
