Am​​Follow the Drinking Gourd, Jefferson Starship

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

# # #  Follow the drinking gourd, Follow the drinking gourd
  For the old man is waiting, For to carry you to freedom
  Follow the drinking gourd

Riverbed makes a mighty fine road
The dead trees will show you the way
And it’s 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    # # #

I thought I heard the angels say
Follow the drinking gourd
The stars in the Heavens’
Gonna show you the way
Follow the drinking gourd    # # #
