Greenback Dollar
The Kingston Trio
Ton : E
EmSome people say I'm a no Gcount, Cothers say I'm no Emgood,
But GI'm just a Cnatural born Gtravelin Emman,
DDoin what I think I Emshould, Oh yeah,
DDoin what I think I Emshould.
Refrain
And I Gdon't give a Cdamn about a Ggreenback Cdollar,
G Spend it Cfast as I Gcan,
C For a Gwailin Csong, and a Ggood guiCtar,
The onDly thing that as I underEmstand, Poor boy,
The onDly thing that I underEmstand.
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.
Refrain
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 as I understand, Poor boy,
The only thing that I understand.
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
Refrain
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 as I understand, Poor boy,
The only thing that I understand.
