GREENBACK DOLLAR – Kingston Trio
Some people say I’m a no-count, Others say I’m no good
But I’m just a natural born travellin‘ 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 whaling 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 momma 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.”
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.
