Текст песни The Drinking Gourd

When the sun goes 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 CHORUS Follow the drinking gourd Follow the drinking gourd For the old man is waiting for to carry you to freedom Follow the drinking gourd The riverbed makes a mighty fine road Dead trees to show you the way And it's left foot, peg foot travelling 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 (CHORUS) I thought I heard the angels say Follow the drinking gourd The stars in heaven gonna show you the way Follow the drinking gourd
