When the sun goes back
and the first quail calls
Follow the drinking gourd
The old man is a-waitin' for
to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd

Chorus

The baby's born in New York City
Wrapped in a blanket that's tattered and worn
Mama's doing the best she can
Findin' hope in a hopeless world

Her eldest boy
Well he stayed in school
Listen to mama

I WANT JESUS TO WALK WITH ME

I want Jesus to walk with me
I want Jesus to walk with me
All Along my pilgrim journey
I want Jesus to walk with me

In my trials Lord, walk with me.

Look here baby now you know I can, be the one to be your man
Baby now you know I'd do, anything in the world for you

To have lovin' from my baby's eyes, oh lovin' from my baby's eyes
See the lovin' in my baby's eyes, lovin' from my baby's eyes

Look here baby now you know darn well, love you better than another man could tell
Love you baby now you know I'd do, anything in the world for you

from an old African American slave song -
1. Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!
2. Michael boat a gospel boat, Hallelujah!
3. I wonder where my mudder deh [there].
4. See my mudder on de rock gwine home.
5. On de rock gwine home in Jesus' name.
6. Michael boat a music boat.
7. Gabriel blow de trumpet horn.

from couplets of old African American Spirituals Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah

My brothers and sisters are all aboard, hallelujah
My brothers and sisters are all aboard, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah

I'm buildin' a new home ‘cross the county line (2x)
Up on a high hill where the view's so fine

Down in the lowlands water taste like turpentine (2x)
I'm goin' up the country where it taste liked cherry wine

I made a piece of money, but I won't say how (2x)
Bought my own forty acres -

You got one soul to save –
Are you gonna do it?
One soul to save –
Are you ready now?
One soul to save – an’ it’s a mighty good time
I do believe that time is windin’ down

Before the stars refuse to shine

I got a pocket for my keys, a pocket for my cash
One for my ticket in case I got to leave town fast
My favorite pocket, you know the one I'm thinking of
Is the pocket in my heart for your love?
The pocket in my heart for your love

I got a pocket for my pen, one for my book
A pocket for my glasses when I got to get a better look

She likes her coffee and I got to have me tea.
Now I don't try to change her she don't try to change me,

Ever since we met, every-things looking up.
We go together, like a saucer and cup

She's like the sunshine after weeks of rain,
her loving disposition is sweet as sugar cane.

Mm hmmm
Oh yeah

Life gives you the runaround
You say you wanna know
How much dues must you pay
Well, you can pay off what you want to
When there’s a will

if I had a dollar for every mile
I've travelled from town to town
I could live like a saultan or a king

But then again
Don't it make you smile
Thinking about the good friends you've found

You are the song
Singing in my heart
A melody in harmonies
Familiar from the start

You are the sweet in the honey
You are the red in the rose
You are the song

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this world of woe.
There’s no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright land to which I go.

I’m going there to see my mother
I’m going there no more to roam.
I’m just going over Jordan
