Greenback Dollar Lyrics

Don McLean

Translate to

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

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

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"

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

Now that I′m a grown man
I′ve traveled here and there
I've learned that a bottle of brandy and a song
Are the only ones who ever care
The only ones who ever care

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

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
Doin′ what I think I should

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
The only things that I understand, that′s right
The only things that I understand
