Some people say I'm a [G] no count
Others say I'm no good
But I'm just a natural born traveling man
[A] Doing what I think [E] I should
Oh yeah, [A] doing what I think [E] I should
[G] And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
Spend it fast as I can
Or a wailing song and a good [C] guitar
[A] The only things that I [Em] understand, oh boy
[A] The only things that I [Em] understand
When I was [G] a little baby
[C] My mama said, hey [G] son
[C] Travel where you will [G] and grow to be a man
[A] And sing what must be [Em] sung, oh boy
[A] Sing what must [E] be sung
[G]
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
[C] Spend it fast as [G] I can
[C]
[G] Or a wailing song and a good [C] guitar
[A] The only things that I [Em] understand, oh boy
[A] The only things that I [Em] understand
[E] Now that [G] I'm a grown man
I've traveled here and there
I've learned that a bottle of brandy and a song
[D] The only ones who ever [E] care, poor boy
[D] The only ones who ever [E] care
[G]
And I don't give a damn about a [C] greenback [G] dollar
[C] Spend it fast [G] as I can
[C]
[G] Or a wailing [C] [G] song and a good [C] guitar
[A] The only things that I [Em] understand, poor boy
[A] The only things that I [Em] understand
[E] Some [Bm] people say I'm a no count
[C] Others [G] say I'm no good
But I'm just a natural born traveling man
[A] Doing what I think [E] I should, oh yeah
[A] Doing what I think I should
[G]
And I [C] don't give a damn [G] about a greenback dollar
Spend it fast as I can
[C]
Or a wailing [G] song and a good [C] guitar
[A] The only things that I [Em] understand, poor boy
[A] The only things that [Em] I understand
[A] The only things that I [Em] understand, poor boy
[D] The only things that I [E] understand
