When I go back Baltimore, need no carpet on my floor
Come along and follow me, we'll go down to Galilee
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
Green Green Rocky Road, Promenade in green
Tell me who you love tell, me who you love
Ooka Dooka Soda cracker, does your momma chew tobacco
If your momma chews tobacco, sing ooka dooka ooka dooka soda cracker
Green Green Rocky Road, Promenade in green
Tell me who you love tell, me who you love
When I go back to Baltimore, need no carpet on my floor
You come along and follow me, there's a man in Galilee
Green Green Rocky Road, Promenade in green
Tell me who you love tell, me who you love

I honestly thought this song was specifically written for the movie given its comically derivative lyrics referencing the folk waterfront.
One of the Cohn brother's quirkiest and most enjoyable movies. Oscar Isaac was brilliant.
This sounds a lot like Ryan Bingham, most recently of Yellowstone fame. That's a good thing, IMO.

Yep, pretty much my reaction (to the movie); OK, but once was enough.
"Blood Simple" on the other hand, now there's a movie!
I felt the same, but after a few years I watched it again and was devastated. I'm sure it depends on how you go into it.

Decent rendition, but it's not the McGarrigle Sisters ...
Green Green Rocky Road - Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Lily Lanken, Rufus Wainwright.

This is a standard from the early 60s Folk Movement; think Peter Paul Mary, Dave van Ronk.... It is a delightful song, I'm glad that Mr. Estrada also likes it - he does a fair to middling job

I don't love covers where it seems the artist is trying to sound as close as possible to the original. This sounds like a Von Ronk impression to me. It's definitely not bad, but also definitely not original. (In this particular case the term 'original' is probably not correct, as it is a traditional song... but Von Ronk claims it for me)
wonderful movie
Beautiful movie...
Poe! Who knew!
Absolutely wonderful. Great movie as well.
I hear Dave Von Ronk...

This movie was weird but the music was nice. I was impressed by Oscar Isaac's performance, but I definitely don't need to see it again...

Bill, it's "Llewyn" Davis, not "Llewelyn" Davis. (That is, "Lew-en", not "Lew-ellen".)

And of course, this is the killer "catchphrase":

I remember as a kid in the 70s singing along to this song with the headphones cranked up. Peter, Paul and Mary.
Note, Bill, that the movie and title character are Llewyn Davis — two syllables. Everyone wants to say "Llewellyn."
Great movie.....good music
This dude is going to be an X wing pilot!!!!!

Thanks goodness. That version seems rushed and overproduced to me. I'll take Dave Van Ronk's spare, more deliberately paced version, breaks in his imperfect voice and all.
