Lyrics Barry McGuire – Greenback Dollar

Well some people say that I’m a no ‘count. Others say I’m no good
I’m just a natural-born travelin’ man, doin’ what I think I should
Doin’ what I think I should

And I don’t care about a greenback dollar, spend it as fast as I can

When I was a little baby, my momma told me, «Son,
Go where you will and grow to be a man. Yeah sing what has to be sung
I want you do what has to be done»

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
Oh yeah, the only things that I understand

Well now, now that I’m a grown man, I’ve traveled here and there
You know a bottle of brandy and a good guitar are the only things I care
The only things I care

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
Hear me now, the only things that I understand
