about

In 1955 Harold Courlander collected some African American chorus-and-leader game songs from the children of Lilly’s and Browns Chapel Schools in York, Alabama. Two somehow got joined up. Len Chandler polished. Dave Van Ronk got a signature song. I heard it 60 years ago. Infectious

lyrics

When I go to Baltimore
Make my pallet on your floor
Come along and follow me
We’ll go down in history

Chorus : Green green rocky road Promenade in green
Tell me who ya love Tell me who ya 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 splashed on the sun

Chorus :

See Miss Jane runnin’ to the ball
She don’t stumble, she don’t fall
Don’t she sing and don’t she shout
When she sing, come runnin’ out

Chorus :

Hooka tooka soda cracker
Does your mama chaw tobacca
If your mama chaw tobacca
Hooka tooka soda cracker

Chorus :

When I go to Baltimore
Make my pallet on your floor
Get up girl and follow me
We’ll go down in history

Chorus
