Standard (EADGBE)
Some people say I'm a no count
Others say I'm no good
but I'm just a natural born traveling man
doin' what I think I should, oh yea
Doin' what I think I should
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
Spend it fast as a can
But a wailing song a good guitar
The only thing that I understand, poor boy
The only thing that I understand
When I was a little baby
My Mama said hey son
Travel where you will and learn to be a man
and sing what must be sung, poor boy
Sing what must be sung
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
Spend it fast as a can
But a wailing song a good guitar
The only thing that I understand, poor boy
The only thing that I understand
Now that I've grown to be a man
I've traveled here and there
I've learned that a bottle of brandy and a song
the only ones who ever cared, poor boy
the only one's who ever cared
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
Spend it fast as a can
But a wailing song a good guitar
The only thing that I understand, poor boy
The only thing that I understand
