Croce Jim Greenback Dollar Lyrics

Greenback Dollar Lyrics

Written by - Hoyt Axton & Ken Ramsey

 Some people say I'm a no 'count

 Others say I'm no good

 But I'm just a nat'ral born travellin' man

 Doin' what I think should, oh yeah

 Doin' what I think should

 

 Chorus:

 When I was a little baby my mama said, hey son

 Travel where you will and grow to be a man

 But sing what must be sung, poor boy Sing what must be sung

 

 And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar

 I spend it fast as I can

 For a wailing song and a good guitar

 The only things that I understand, poor boy

 The only things that I understand

 

 Chorus

 

 Now that I'm a grown man

 I've travelled here and there

 I found that a jug of brandy and a song

 Are the only ones who care, poor boy

 The only ones who care

 

 Chorus
