words in the scotish folk song "follow in drinking go "
A gourd is made out of a hollowed out plant, aptly named 'a gourd.'
If allowed to thoroughly dry out, the pulp in the gourd evaporates, leaving only the hard, dried seeds inside. When shaken, such a gourd rattles - the basis of the percussion instrument called the "maraca".

A gourd. Alive the gourd is filled with water that swells the interior membranes so that nothing inside moves. When the gourd dies the water dries out allowing the inner membranes to shrink to almost nothing. The dried seeds can then rattle against the dried outer shell. Add a stick and you have a maraca.
