Greenback Dollar Artists: The Kingston Trio Charted at # 21 in 1963 Written by Hoyt Axton and Ken Ramsey
Em Some people say I'm a no-'count
Others say I'm no good
But I'm just a natural-born travelin' man
D Em Doin' what I think I should, oh yeah D Em Doin' what I think I should
Refrain: G C G C And I don't give a damn about a greenback-a dollar G C G C Spend it fast as I can G C G C For a wailin' song and a good guitar D Em The only things that I understand, poor boy D Em The only things that I understand
When I was a little baby My mama 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
