Follow The Drinking Gourd - Eric Bibb, Linda Tillery, Taj Mahal

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
