Greenback Dollar |
Some people say I’m a no 'count. |
Others say I’m no good. |
But I’m just a natural-born travelin' man, |
Doin' what I think I should, |
Doin' what I think I should. |
And I don’t give a damn about a greenback dollar, |
I spend it as fast as I can, all right |
For a wailin' song and a good guitar, |
The only things that I understand, poor boy, |
Only things that I understand |
When I was a little baby, |
My momma told, «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.» |
You know, I don’t give a damn about a greenback dollar, |
I spend it as fast as I can, all right |
For a wailin' song and a good guitar, |
The only things that I understand, |
Only things that I understand |
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, |
Only ones who ever care |
You know, I don’t give a damn about a greenback dollar, |
I spend it as fast as I can, all right |
For a wailin' song and a good guitar, |
The only things that I understand, poor boy, |
Only things that I understand |
Some people say I’m a no 'count. |
Others say I’m no good. |
But I’m just a natural-born travelin' man, |
Doin' what I think I should, |
Doin' what I think I should. |
I don’t give a damn about a greenback dollar, |
I spend it as fast as I can, all right |
For a wailin' song and a good guitar, |
The only things that I understand, poor boy, |
Only things that I understand |
Only things that I understand, |
Only things that I understand. |
