Ray Charles - Greenbacks слова песни
As I was walking down the street last nightA pretty little girl came into sightI bowed and smiled and asked her nameShe said, "Hold it bud, I don`t play that game"I reached in my pocket, and to her big surpriseThere was Lincoln staring her dead in the eyes.On a greenback, greenback dollar billJust a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyllShe looked at me with that familiar desireHer eyes lit up like they were on fireShe 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 billJust a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyllI didn`t know what I was getting intoBut I popped Lincoln and Jackson, tooI didn`t mind seeing them fade out of sight,I just knew I`d have some fun last nightWhenever you in town and looking for a thrillIf Lincoln can`t get it, Jackson sure willOn a greenback, greenback dollar billJust a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll(bridge)We went to a nightspot where the lights were lowDined and danced, and I was ready to goI 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 placeWith my greenback, greenback dollar billJust a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyllThe music stopped and the lights came on,I looked around and saw I was all aloneI didn`t know how long Flo had been goneBut a nose powder sure didn`t take that longI left the place with tears in my eyesAs I waved Lincoln and Jackson a last goodbyeOn a greenback, greenback dollar billJust a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll
