GUEST,20osullivand Origins: Woody Guthrie's Greenback Dollar (3) Origins: Does anyone know this Woody Guthrie tune 24 Oct 25


Hello hello, this is my first time posting to this forum so greetings!

I want to know if anybody can identify this Woody Guthrie tune for me, I heard it from the 1946 film "To Hear Your Banjo Play"

the lyrics go:
verse:
I was born in south carolina
down to georgia I did go
there I met a fair young maiden
and her name I never did know
Chorus:
I don't want your greenback dollar
I don't want your sugar cane
all I want is your love darling
wont you take me back again

Pete's "I dont want your Millions" is pulling from it I gather, but if anybody knows this songs' name and origin that would be great thanks.
