1
Some people say I'm a no-'count
2
Others say I'm no good
3
But I'm just a natural-born travelin' man
4
Doin' what I think I should, oh yeah
5
Doin' what I think I should
6
[Chorus]
7
And I don't give a damn about a greenback-a dollar
8
Spend it fast as I can
9
For a wailin' song and a good guitar
10
The only things that I understand, poor boy
11
The only things that I understand
12
When I was a little baby
13
My mama said "Hey son,"
14
"Travel where you will and grow to be a man
15
and sing what must be sung, poor boy"
16
Sing what must be sung
17
[Chorus]
18
Now that I'm a grown man
19
I've traveled here and there
20
I've learned that a bottle of brandy and a song
21
The only ones who ever care, poor boy
22
The only ones who ever care
23
[Chorus]
24
Some people say I'm a no-'count
25
Others say I'm no good
26
But I'm just a natural-born travelin' man
27
Doin' what I think I should, oh yeah
28
Doin' what I think I should
29
[Chorus]
30
And I don't give a damn about a greenback-a dollar
31
Spend it fast as I can
32
For a wailin' song and a good guitar
33
The only things that I understand, poor boy
34
The only things that I understand
35
The only things that I understand, poor boy
36
The only things that I understand
