Green Back Dollar Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Hoyt Axton 

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. 

Chorus 

And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar, 

Spend it fast as I can, 

For a wailin song, and a good guitar, 

The only thing that I understand, Poor boy, 

The only thing that I understand. 

When I was a little babe, 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. 

Chorus 

Now that I'm a grown man, I've travelled here and there, 

I've learned that a bottle of brandy and a song, 

The only ones who ever cared, poor boy, 

The only ones who ever cared 

Chorus
