> The only gourd I have heard of before was in Judea, AD 33, about tea time:

> --------[As Brian runs out of the city, one of his shoes (or is it a sandal?)
>        falls off. His followers stop, and Follower 5 picks it up.]
> Folowr3 He has given us a sign!
> Folowr5 He has given us... a shoe!
> Folowr3 The shoe is the sign. Let us follow his example.
> Spike What?
> Folowr3 Let us, like him, hold up one shoe and let the other be upon our foot
>       for this is His sign, and all who follow Him shall do likewise.
> Folowr2 Yes.
> Folowr5 No no no.
> Folowr2 No.
> Folowr5 The shoe is a sign that we must gather shoes together in a bundle.
> Folowr4 Cast off the shoes. Follow the gourd.
> Spike What?
> Folowr5 No. Let us gather shoes together. Let me...
> Folowr4 Get off!
> Folowr2 No, no. It is a sign that like him, we must think not of things of
>       the body, but of the face, and head.
> Folowr5 Give me your shoe.
> Folowr2 Get off!
> Folowr4 Follow the gourd. The holy gourd of Jerusalem.

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

Follow the drinking gourd,
follow the drinking gourd
For the old man is a-waitin'
to carry you to freedom
Follow the drinking gourd

The river bed makes a mighty fine road,
Dead trees to show you the way
And it's left foot, peg foot, traveling 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

I thought I heard the angels say
Follow the drinking gourd
The stars in the heavens
      gonna show you the way
Follow the drinking gourd
