Green, Green Rocky Road Lyrics

When I go to Baltimore
Got no carpet on my floor
Come along and follow me

We'll go down in history

Green green rocky road
Promenade in green
Tell me who d' you love
Tell me who d' you love

See that crow up in the sky
He don't crow nor can he fly
He can't walk nor can he run
He's black paint slattered on the sun

Green green rocky road
Promenade in green
Tell me who d' you love
Tell me who d' you love

Little Miss Jane runnin' to the ball
Don't you stumble don't you fall
Don't you sing and don't you shout
When I sing come runnin' out

Green green rocky road
Promenade in green
Tell me who d' you love
Tell me who d' you love

a tooka soda cracker
Does your mama chew tobacco
If your mama chew tobacco
a tooka soda cracker

Green green rocky road
Promenade in green
Tell me who d' you love
Tell me who d' you love

When I go to Baltimore
Got no carpet on my floor
Please get up and follow me
We'll go down in history

Green green rocky road
Promenade in green
Tell me who d' you love
Tell me who d' you love

Dave Van Ronk (June 30, 1936 – February 10, 2002) was a folk singer born in Brooklyn, New York, who settled in Greenwich Village, New York City, and was nicknamed the "Mayor of MacDougal Street."

He was best known as a pioneer of the acoustic blues revival, but his work ranged from old English ballads to Bertolt Brecht, rock, New Orleans jazz, and swing. He was a pioneer of instrumental ragtime guitar, as well as an early supporter of Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, among many others. Van Ronk was very influential on the music scene in New York City in the 1960s.

His musical career started when he moved from Brooklyn to Queens in 1951 and started to sing in a barbershop quartet.

Van Ronk died of colorectal cancer (colon cancer) in 2002.
