Lyrics
As I was walking down the street last night
A pretty little girl came into sight
I bowed and smiled and asked her her name
She said, "Look-a here, Daddy, I don't play that game"
So I reached in my pocket and much to her surprise
There was Lincoln staring her dead in the eye
Well, greenback, greenback dollar bill
Yes, just a little piece of paper coated with chlorophyll
She looked at me with that familiar desire
And her eyes lit up like they were on fire
She said, "My name's Flora and you're on the right track
Look-a here, Daddy, I got furs on my back
So if you wanna have some fun in this man's land
Let Lincoln and Jackson start shaking hands"
Well, greenback, greenback paper bill
Yes, just a little piece of paper coated with chlorophyll
I didn't know what I was getting into
When out popped Lincoln and Jackson too
I didn't mind seeing 'em fade out of sight
'Cause I just knew I'd had me some fun last night
So whenever you're in town and looking for a thrill
If Lincoln won't give it, Jackson sure will
Greenback, greenback dollar bill
Yes, just a little piece of paper coated with chlorophyll
We went to a nightspot where the lights were low
We dined and danced and I was ready to go
All of a sudden that chick arose
And she said, "Give me some money, Daddy, I gotta powder my nose"
So I gave her Lincoln with a smiling face
And she went down to that there powder place
With my greenback dollar bill
Yes, just a little piece of paper coated with chlorophyll
The music stopped and the lights came on
And I looked around and saw I was all alone
I didn't know how long that chick had been gone
But a nose powder sure didn't take that long
I left that place with tears in my eyes
As I waved Lincoln and Jackson last goodbye
Greenback, greenback dollar bill
Yes, just a little piece of paper coated with chlorophyll
