greenback dollar

charted at # 21 in 1963
written by hoyt axton and ken ramsey

em
some people say i’m a no-‘count

others say i’m no good

but i’m just a natural-born travelin’ man

d em
doin’ what i think i should, oh yeah
d em
doin’ what i think i should

refrain:
g c g c
and i don’t give a d-mn about a greenback-a dollar
g c g c
spend it fast as i can
g c g c
for a wailin’ song and a good guitar
d em
the only things that i understand, poor boy
d em
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
and sing what must be sung, poor boy”
sing what must be sung

refrain

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

refrain

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, oh yeah
doin’ what i think i should

refrain:
and i don’t give a d-mn about a greenback-a dollar
spend it 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
the only things that i understand, poor boy
the only things that i understand
