Greenback Dollar - Brian Hyland

Title: Greenback Dollar

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 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.»

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.

(Chorus, repeat first verse and repeat chorus)
