Hoyt Axton - Greenback Dollar lyrics
[Hoyt Axton - Greenback Dollar lyrics]
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
And I don't give a damn
About a greenback dollar
Spend it as fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, oh yeah
The only things that I understand, ooh yeah
When I was a little baby
My mama, she said "Son
Travel where you will and grow to be a man
And sing what must be sung, poor boy
Sing what must be sung"
And I don't give a damn
About a greenback dollar
Spend it as fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, poor boy
The only things that I understand
Now, that I'm a grown man
I've travelled here and there
And I've learned that a bottle
Of brandy and a song
Are the only ones who care, oh Lord
The only ones who care
And I don't give a damn
About a greenback dollar
Spend it as fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, oh yeah
The only things that I understand, ooh yeah
'Cause 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
And I don't give a damn
About a greenback dollar
Spend it as fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, oh yeah
The only things that I understand
That's all that I understand, poor boy
That's all that I understand
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
And I don't give a damn
About a greenback dollar
Spend it as fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, oh yeah
The only things that I understand, ooh yeah
When I was a little baby
My mama, she said "Son
Travel where you will and grow to be a man
And sing what must be sung, poor boy
Sing what must be sung"
And I don't give a damn
About a greenback dollar
Spend it as fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, poor boy
The only things that I understand
Now, that I'm a grown man
I've travelled here and there
And I've learned that a bottle
Of brandy and a song
Are the only ones who care, oh Lord
The only ones who care
And I don't give a damn
About a greenback dollar
Spend it as fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, oh yeah
The only things that I understand, ooh yeah
'Cause 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
And I don't give a damn
About a greenback dollar
Spend it as fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, oh yeah
The only things that I understand
That's all that I understand, poor boy
That's all that I understand
