Follow the Drinking Gourd Lyrics
Follow the Drinking Gourd is a book and also a folksong. But it is more of the latter. The American folksong was first published in 1928. “Follow the Drinking Gourd” was used by an Underground Railroad operative to encode escape instructions and a map.
Here is “Follow the Drinking Gourd” lyrics:
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
If you follow the Drinking Gourd.
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 river 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 a-waiting for to carry you to freedom
If you follow the drinking gourd.
