Papa was a man of the cloth he followed his calling down to Barbados
Thatâs where he met ma mama, huddled together in a tornado
His little church it blew down, he had to build it up from the ground
To get the people going hereâs what he tell âem
Follow me now, sinner, follow me now follow me down
Follow me now children, follow me now follow me down
Papa taught me all that he could, about making music and that it was good
Mama taught youâre as good as you give and thatâs how we live
And when I went to Big Town, I still felt them all around
I close my eyes and I hear them say:
Follow me now children follow me now follow me now
Follow me now brother follow me sister follow me down.
Now I play the world with my songs, try and help the people do right from wrong
But every year I come back home, I come back to kiss the stone
Mamma and papa they lay side by side, underneath the great blue sky
I close my eyes and I hear them say:
Follow me now, children follow me now follow me down
Follow me now children follow me now follow me down
Maybe someday I will come home and start a little church all of my own
We will praise him all night long making music, dancinâ and singinâ our songs
I will ask the folks of my town I will ask them all to come down
And here is what I will say:
Follow me now children, follow me now follow me down
Follow me now sister, follow me brother follow me down
Follow me now children, follow me now follow me now.
