Traditional
Click here to watch a video of Dave Van Ronk teaching this song. Though it’s a traditional tune, Dave made it his own and it’s a rare treat to spend some time with him as he teaches the form…
When I go to Baltimore, need no carpet on my floor
Come along and follow me, we’ll go down to Galilee
Chorus:
Green Green Rocky Road, Promenade in green
Tell me who you love tell, me who you love
See that crow up in the sky, he don’t walk no he just fly
He don’t walk and he don’t run, keeps on flappin to the sun
Chorus
Little miss Jane run to the wall, don’t you stumble, don’t you fall
Don’t you sing and don’t you shout, when I say come runnin out
Chorus
Ooka Dooka Soda cracker, does your momma chew tobacco
If your momma chews tobacco, sing ooka dooka soda cracker
Chorus
When I go to Baltimore, need no carpet on my floor
Come along and follow me, we’ll go down to Galilee
