em
some People Say I'm A No-'count

others Say I'm No Good

but I'm Just A Natural-Born Travelin' Man

d Em
doin' What I Think I Should, Oh Yeah
d Em
doin' What I Think I Should


refrain
g C G C
and I Don't Give A Damn About A Greenback-A Dollar
g C G C
spend It Fast As I Can
g C G C
for A Wailin' Song And A Good Guitar
d Em
the Only Things That I Understand, Poor Boy
d Em
the Only Things That I Understand


when I Was A Little Baby
my Mama Said 'hey Son,'
'travel Where You Will And Grow To Be A Man
and Sing What Must Be Sung, Poor Boy'
sing What Must Be Sung

refrain

now That I'm A Grown Man
i've Traveled Here And There
i've Learned That A Bottle Of Brandy And A Song
the Only Ones Who Ever Care, Poor Boy
the Only Ones Who Ever Care

refrain

some People Say I'm A No-'count
others Say I'm No Good
but I'm Just A Natural-Born Travelin' Man
doin' What I Think I Should, Oh Yeah
doin' What I Think I Should

refrain
and I Don't Give A Damn About A Greenback-A Dollar
spend It Fast As I Can
for A Wailin' Song And A Good Guitar
the Only Things That I Understand, Poor Boy
the Only Things That I Understand
the Only Things That I Understand, Poor Boy
the Only Things That I Understand
