[Intro]
They saw the Big Dipper in the sky
And they followed it North to freedom

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

[Verse 2]
Now, the riverbank'll make a mighty good road
Dead trees'll show you the way
Mister left foot, peg foot, travelin' on
Follow the drinkin' gourd

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