Текст (слова) песни: Ray Charles - Greenbacks



As I was walking down the street last night
A pretty little girl came into sight
I bowed and smiled and asked her name
She said, "Hold it bud, I don`t play that game"
I reached in my pocket, and to her big surprise
There was Lincoln staring her dead in the eyes.

On a greenback, greenback dollar bill
Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll

She looked at me with that familiar desire
Her eyes lit up like they were on fire
She said, "My name`s Flo, and you`re on the right track,
But look here, daddy, I wear furs on my back,
So if you want to have fun in this man`s land,
Let Lincoln and Jackson start shaking hands."

On a greenback, greenback dollar bill
Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll

I didn`t know what I was getting into
But I popped Lincoln and Jackson, too
I didn`t mind seeing them fade out of sight,
I just knew I`d have some fun last night
Whenever you in town and looking for a thrill
If Lincoln can`t get it, Jackson sure will

On a greenback, greenback dollar bill
Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll

(bridge)

We went to a nightspot where the lights were low
Dined and danced, and I was ready to go
I got out of my seat, and when Flo arose,
She said, "Hold on daddy, while I powder my nose"
I sat back down with a smiling face,
While she went down to the powder place

With my greenback, greenback dollar bill
Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll

The music stopped and the lights came on,
I looked around and saw I was all alone
I didn`t know how long Flo had been gone
But a nose powder sure didn`t take that long
I left the place with tears in my eyes
As I waved Lincoln and Jackson a last goodbye

On a greenback, greenback dollar bill
Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll
