1962 folk song written and recorded by Hoyt Axton. Not to be confused with the traditional song Greenback Dollar

Lyrics start out -
Some people say I'm a no-count
Others say I'm no good
But I'm just a natural born travellin' man
Doin' what I think I should, oh yeah
Doin' what I think I should

And I don't give a damn about a Greenback a-dollar
Spend it fast as I can
For a whaling song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, poor boy
The only things that I understand
