Greenback Dollar Lyrics - Nick, Bob & John: The Final Concert - Kingston Trio

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, 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 

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 

And I don't give a damn 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 

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 

And I don't give a damn 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 

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, 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
