Follow the Drinking Gourd:
A Cultural History
I think the link below pretty well has it all.
***********EXCERPT****************
The American folksong Follow the Drinking Gourd was first published in 1928. The Drinking Gourd song was supposedly used by an Underground Railroad operative to encode escape instructions and a map. These directions then enabled fleeing slaves to make their way north from Mobile, Alabama to the Ohio River and freedom.
