Greenback Dollar |
| Some people say I’m a no 'count |
| Others say I’m no good |
| But I’m just a nat’ral born travellin' man |
| Doin' what I think should, oh yeah |
| Doin' what I think should |
| When I was a little baby my mama said, hey son |
| Travel where you will and grow to be a man |
| But sing what must be sung, poor boy |
| Sing what must be sung |
| And I don’t give a damn about a greenback dollar |
| I spend it fast as I can |
| For a wailing 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 mama said, hey son |
| Travel where you will and grow to be a man |
| But sing what must be sung, poor boy |
| Sing what must be sung |
| Now that I’m a grown man |
| I’ve travelled here and there |
| I found that a jug of brandy and a song |
| Are the only ones who care, poor boy |
| The only ones who care |
| When I was a little baby my mama said, hey son |
| Travel where you will and grow to be a man |
| But sing what must be sung, poor boy |
| Sing what must be sung |
