| 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. |
