Some people say I'm a no 'count 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 spend it as fast as I can, all right For a wailin' song and a good guitar The only things that I understand, poor boy Only things that I understand When I was a little baby My momma told: 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 You know, I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar I spend it as fast as I can, all right For a wailin' song and a good guitar The only things that I understand 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 The only ones who ever care Only ones who ever care You know, I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar I spend it as fast as I can, all right For a wailin' song and a good guitar The only things that I understand, poor boy Only things that I understand Some people say I'm a no 'count 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 I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar I spend it as fast as I can, all right For a wailin' song and a good guitar The only things that I understand, poor boy Only things that I understand Only things that I understand Only things that I understand
