Greenback Dollar (1963)
The Kingstone Trio
Some people say I'm a no 'count.
Others say I'm no good. But I'm just a nat'ral-born travelin' man,
doin' what I think I should, O, yeah.
Doin' what I think I should.
[Chorus:] And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar,
spend it as 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 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]
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
