Greenback Dollar - Barry McGuire, Barry Kane

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

And I don’t care 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.»

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
