Follow the Drinking Gourd

Jefferson Starship

Follow, follow
Follow, follow
Follow

Follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is a-waiting
For to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd

When the sun comes back
And the first quail calls
Follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is a-waiting
For to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd

Follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is a-waiting
For to carry you to freedom
If you follow the drinking gourd

Now the riverbed will make a mighty fine road
The dead trees will show you the way
Left foot, peg foot traveling on
Follow the drinking gourd

You gotta follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is a-waiting
For to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd

Now the river ends between two hills
Follow the drinking gourd
There's another river on the other side
Follow the drinking gourd

Follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is a-waiting
For to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd

Follow the drinking gourd
Follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is a-waiting
For to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd
