say I'm a no 'count.
Others say I'm no good.
But I'm just a nat'ral- born travelin' man,
doin' what I think I should, O, yeah.
Doin' what I think I should.
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar,
spend it as fast as I can.
For a wailin' song and a good guitar, the only things that I understand,
poor boy, the only things that I understand.
When I was a little baby,
my momma 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."
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar,
spend it as fast as I can.
For a wailin' song and a good guitar, the only things that I understand,
poor boy, 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,
The only ones who ever care,
poor boy, the only ones who ever care.
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar,
spend it as fast as I can.
For a wailin' song and a good guitar,
the only things that I understand, poor boy, the only things that I understand.
Some people say
I'm a no 'count.
Others say I'm
no good.
But I'm just a nat'ral- born travelin' man,
doin' what I think I should, O, yeah.
Doin' what I think I should.
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar,
spend it as fast as I can.
For a wailin' song and a good guitar,
the only things that I understand, poor boy, the only things that I understand.
