Green, Green Rocky Road Lyrics by Dave Van Ronk

Songs for Ageing Children

1973

[Verse 1]
When I go by Baltimore
Need no carpet on my floor
You come along, follow me
We'll go down to Galilee
[Hook]
Green green rocky road
You promenade in green
Tell me who ya love
Tell me who ya love
[Verse 2]
See that crow up in the sky
He don't walk, he just fly
He don't walk, he don't run
He keep on flapping, til' the sun
[Hook]
Howlin' Green green rocky road
You promenade in green
Tell me who ya love
Tell me who ya love
[Verse 3]
Little Miss Jane you run to wall
Don't you stumble, Don't you fall
Don't you sing, Don't you shout
When I sing you come runnin' out
[Hook]
Howlin' Green green rocky road
You Promenade in green
Tell me who ya love
Tell me who ya love
[Verse 4]
Hooka-dooka soda cracker
Does your mama chew tobacco?
If your mama chews tobacco
Hooka-dooka, hooka-dooka soda cracker, yes
[Hook]
Green green rocky road
You promenade in green
Tell me who ya love
Tell me who ya love
[Verse 5]
When I go by Baltimore
Needin' no carpet on my floor
Ya Come along, follow me
There's a man in Galilee
[Hook]
Howlin' Green green rocky road
You promenade in green
Tell me who ya love
Tell me who ya love
