Lyrics Greenback Dollar - Barry McGuire, Barry Kane

Greenback Dollar

Some people say I’m a no 'count.
Others say I’m no good
But I’m just a nat’ral-born travelin' man, doin' what I think I should, O, yeah.
Doin' what I think I should
And I don’t care about a greenback dollar, spend it as fast as I can
For a wailin' song and a good guitar, the only things that I understand,
poor boy, the only things that I understand
When I was a little baby, my momma said, «Hey, son.
Travel where you will and
grow to be a man
And sing what must be sung, poor boy.
Sing what must be sung.»
Now that I’m a grown man, I’ve traveled here and there.
I’ve learned that a
bottle of brandy and a song
The only ones who ever care, poor boy, the only ones who ever care
