"Greenback Dollar" lyrics - VAN MORRISON

VAN MORRISON
"Greenback Dollar"
(Traditional)

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, take, take, take me back again
Won't you take, 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
