The Kingston Trio — Greenback Dollar

[Verse 1] 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 a-dollar Spend it 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 [Verse 2] 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" [Chorus] And I don't give a damn about a greenback a-dollar Spend it 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 [Verse 3] 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 cared, poor boy The only ones who ever cared [Chorus] And I don't give a damn about a greenback a-dollar Spend it 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 [Verse 1] 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 a-dollar Spend it 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 [Outro] The only things that I understand, poor boy The only things that I understand
