Follow the Drinking Gourd
Wynton Marsalis
[MEN, spoken]
Jesse don’t care about no Indians, no land, no soul, no singing, and no Leona. It was time for him to go ahead and run.
[JESSE]

[LEONA]
Run day and run night
But look up to freedom
Freedom
Keep a eye on high
Follow the drinking gourd
But what of me, Jesse?
Freedom, sweet freedom
One day or one night
Hope they bring him back to me
Hope they bring him back to me
Hope they bring him back to me
[JESSE]
