Peg Leg Joe Peg Leg Joe was a sailor who led slaves through the Underground Railroad to freedom. He may have been a real person or composite of people but there is no reliable historical evidence of his existence.〔(Follow the Drinking Gourd - A cultural history )〕 As his name suggests, he had a prosthesis for his right leg.〔(NASA explanation of the lyrics "left foot and a peg foot" )〕 Peg Leg Joe is widely credited for authoring the song "Follow the Drinkin' Gourd", which was supposedly about his working the fields in Whynott, Indiana. It is likely that Americans sang the tune in the latter half of the 19th century and early 20th century.〔 The lyrics were first published by Lee Hays in 1947.〔
