Some people say I'm a no count Anothers say I'm no good But I'm just a natural born travelling man Doing what I think I should oh, yes Doing what I think I should And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar Spend it fast as I can For a whaling song and a good guitar Are the only things that I understand oh, boy The only things that I understand When I was a little baby My Mama said hey son Travel where you will grow to be a man And sing what must be sung oh, yes Sing what must be sung And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar Spend it fast as I can For a whaling song and a good guitar Are the only things that I understand oh, boy The only things that I understand Now that I'm a grown man I travel here and there I've found that I beside a friend And a song are the only ones who never care Oh, yes the only ones who never care.
