Don McLean - Greenback Dollar lyrics

Some people say I'm a no account
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'll spend it fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand
The only things that I understand
And I don't give a damn
About a greenback dollar
I'll spend it fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand
The only things that I understand

When I was a little baby
My mama told me, "Son
Travel where you will and grow to be a man
And sing what must be sung
Sing what must be sung"

And I don't give a damn
About a greenback dollar
I'll spend it fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand
The only things that I understand

Now, that I'm a grown man
I've travelled here and there
I've learned that a bottlе of
Brandy and a song
Are the only ones who еver care
The only ones who ever care

And I don't give a damn
About a greenback dollar
I'll spend it fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand
The only things that I understand

Well some people say I'm a no account
And others say I'm no good
But I'm just a natural born travelin' man
Doin' what I think I should
A doin' what I think I should

And I don't give a damn
About a greenback dollar
I'll spend it fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand
The only things that I understand

The only things that I understand
That's right
The only things that I understand
