This song was sung as a secret code to those traveling on the Underground Railroad. Do you know what the code is?

Follow the Drinking Gourd
Follow the Drinking Gourd
For the old man is awaiting for to carry you to freedom
If you follow the Drinking the Gourd

When the sun comes up and the first quail calls
Follow the Drinking Gourd
For the old man is awaiting for to carry you to freedom
If you follow the Drinking Gourd

Follow the Drinking Gourd
Follow the Drinking Gourd
For the old man is awaiting for to carry you to freedom
If you follow the Drinking the 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

Follow the Drinking Gourd
Follow the Drinking Gourd
For the old man is awaiting for to carry you to freedom
If you follow the Drinking the Gourd

The river ends between two hills
Follow the Drinking Gourd
There's another river on the other side
Follow the Drinking Gourd

Follow the Drinking Gourd
Follow the Drinking Gourd
For the old man is awaiting for to carry you to freedom
If you follow the Drinking the Gourd
