Two songs of the Underground Railroad - leading escaped slaves north to safety in free states and Canada

Follow the Drinking Gourd

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

Harriet Tubman by Walter Robinson

Hundreds of miles we travelled onward gathering slaves from town to town
Seeking every lost and found, setting those free that once were bound
Finally my heart was growing weaker, I fell by the wayside sinking sand
Firmly did this woman stand, she lifted me up and took my hand

Who are these children dressed in red?
They must be the ones that Moses led
Who are these children dressed in red?
They must be the ones that Sister Moses led
