Greenbacks Lyrics - Ray Charles: Ultimate Hits Collection - Ray Charles

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. 

 

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.
