Lyrics

Greenback Dollar

>

I don’t want your greenback dollar

I don’t want your silver chain

All I want

Is your love, darling

Won’t you take me back again

I was born in east Virginia

North Carolina I did go

There I met a fair young maiden

But her name I did not know

Now I don’t want (I don’t want) your greenback dollar (greenback dollar)

I don’t want  (I don’t want) no silver chain (silver chain)

All I want (all I want)

Is your love, darling (is your love, darling)

Want you to take me back again

- (sax, guitar solos) -

Your Papa said we cannot marry

My Mama said it will never do

If you ever (think that you love me)?

I can run, run, run away with you

Well I don’t want (I don’t want) your greenback dollar (greenback dollar)

I don’t want  (I don’t want) no silver chain (silver chain)

All I want (all I want)

Is your love, darling (is your love, darling)

Want you to take me back, take me back again

(One more time)

I don’t want (I don’t want) your greenback dollar (greenback dollar)

I don’t want  (I don’t want) no silver chain (silver chain)

All I want (all I want)

Is your love, darling (is your love, darling)

Won’t you take, take, takе, take, take me back again

Won’t you takе, take, take, take, take me back again

Want you to take, take, take, take, take me back again

Want you to take, take, take, take, take me back again
