Don Mclean - Greenback Dollar Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Some people say I'm a no account
Others say I'm no good
But I'm just a natural born travelin' man
Doin' what I think I should
Doin' what I think I should

[Chorus]
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
I'll spend it fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand
The only things that I understand

And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
I'll spend it fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand
The only things that I understand

[Verse 2]
When I was a little baby
My mama told me, "Son
Travel where you will and grow to be a man
And sing what must be sung
Sing what must be sung"
[Chorus]
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
I'll spend it fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand
The only things that I understand

[Verse 3]
Now, that I'm a grown man
I've travelled here and there
I've learned that a bottlе of brandy and a song
Are the only ones who еver care
The only ones who ever care

[Chorus]
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
I'll spend it fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand
The only things that I understand

[Verse 4]
Well some people say I'm a no account
And others say I'm no good
But I'm just a natural born travelin' man
Doin' what I think I should
A-doin' what I think I should
[Chorus]
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
I'll spend it fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand
The only things that I understand

[Outro]
The only things that I understand, that's right
The only things that I understand
