Greenback Dollar

(アルバム： Golden Folk Hits - 1963)

Some people say I'm a no-count
Others say I'm no good
But I'm just a natural born travelling man
Doing what I think I should, oh yeah
Doing what I think I should

And I don't give a
About a greenback dollar
Spend it fast as I can
For a whaling song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand
Yes, the only things that I understand

When I was a little baby
My momma said, "Hey son
You gotta travel where you will
And grow up to be a man
And sing what gotta be sung
Sing what gotta be sung"

And I don't give a
About a greenback dollar
Spend it fast as I can
For a whaling song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand
Yes, the only things that I understand

Now that I'm a grown man
I've travelled here and there
But I've learned that a bottle of brandy and a song
Are the only ones who ever cared
The only ones who really cared

And I don't give a
About a greenback dollar
Spend it fast as I can
For a whaling song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand
Yes, the only things that I understand

Some people say I'm a no-count, yeah
Others say I'm no good
But I'm just a natural born travelling man
I'm doing what I think I should, oh yeah
I'm doing what I think I should

And I don't give a
About a greenback dollar
Spend it fast as I can
For a whaling song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand
Yes, the only things that I understand

I said, the only things that I understand
Yes, the only things that I understand
I said, the only things that I understand
