Greenback Dollar Hoyt Axton
Greg, here is a song someone requested awhile back.It was written by
Hoyt Axton. I'm not sure who performed it, it may have been the Kingston
Trio.
[Em]Some people say I'm a [G]no count, ot[Em]hers say I'm no go[G]od,
But I[C7]'m just a natural born tr[G]avelin man,
[D]Doin what I think I should[Em], Oh yeah,
[D]Doin what I think I should.[EM]
chorus
And I do[G]n't give a da[C]mn about a gr[G]eenback do[C]llar,
[G]Spend it f[C]ast as I c[G]an,
[C]For a w[G]ailin s[C]ong, and a g[G]ood guitar,[C]
The on[D]ly thing thatas I understand[Em], Poor boy,
The on[D]ly thing that I understand[Em].
When I was a little babe, 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.
chorus
Now that I'm a grown man, I've travelled here and there,
I've learned that a bottle of brandy and a song,
The only ones who ever cared, poor boy,
The only ones who ever cared
chorus
