Follow the Drinking Gourd

from Bubble and Squeak (Rest of Vol 2) by Lew Bear

about

A traditional American song, giving slaves instructions on how to escape from the South to the North

lyrics

When the sun comes up and the first quail calls
Follow the drinking gourd
The old man is a waiting to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd

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

The riverbank will make a mighty good road
The dead trees will show you the way
Left foot peg foot travelling on
Follow the drinking gourd

Chorus

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

Chorus
