---Woody's Lyrics---
I don't want your greenback dollar 
I don't want your silver change 
All I want is your love darling 
Won't you take me back again 

Once you was my fond affection 
and you thought this world of me 
then you left me for another 
in my grave I'd rather be 

I don't want no greenback dollar 
I don't want your silver change
All I wants your pretty little daughter 
won't you take me back again
