Some people say I'm a no-account
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'll spend it fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand
The only things that I understand
ย
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
I'll spend it fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand
The only things that I understand
When I was a little baby
My mama told me, "Son
Travel where you will and grow to be a man
And sing what must be sung
Sing what must be sung"
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
I'll spend it fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand
The 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
Are the only ones who ever care
The only ones who ever care
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
I'll spend it fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand
The only things that I understand
ย
Well, some people say I'm a no-account
And 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'll spend it fast as I can
For a whalin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand
The only things that I understand
The only things that I understand, that's right
The only things that I understand
