Follow the Drinkin’ Gourd (Live)

Paul Campbell (The Weavers)

[Chorus]
Follow the drinkin' gourd
Follow the drinkin' gourd
For the old man is a-waitin' to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinkin' gourd

[Verse 1]
When the sun comes back and the first quail calls
Follow the drinkin' gourd
Then the old man is a-waitin' for to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinkin' gourd

[Chorus]
Follow the drinkin' gourd
Follow the drinkin' gourd
For the old man is a-waitin' to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinkin' gourd

[Verse 2]
Well, the river bank will make a mighty good road
The dead trees will show you the way
Left foot, peg foot, travelin' on
Follow the drinkin' gourd

[Chorus]
Follow the drinkin' gourd
Follow the drinkin' gourd
For the old man is a-waitin' to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinkin' gourd

[Verse 3]
Well, the river ends between two hills
Follow the drinkin' gourd
There's another river on the other side
Follow the drinkin' gourd

[Chorus]
Follow the drinkin' gourd
Follow the drinkin' gourd
For the old man is a-waitin' to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinkin' gourd
