One More Dollar

Lyrics

A long time ago, I left my home
 For a job in the fruit trees
 But I missed those hills with the windy pines
 For their song seemed to suit me
 So I sent my wages to my home
 And said we'd soon be together
 For the next good crop would pay my way
 And I would come home forever
 One more dime to show for my day
 One more dollar and I'm on my way
 When I reach those hills, boys, I'll never roam
 One more dollar and I'm going home
 ♪
 No work said the boss at the bunk house door
 There's a freeze on the branches
 So when the dice came out at the bar downtown
 I rolled and I took my chances
 One more dime to show for my day
 One more dollar and I'm on my way
 When I reach those hills, boys, I'll never roam
 One more dollar and I'm going home
 ♪
 A long time ago, I left my home
 Just a boy passing twenty
 Could you spare a coin and a Christian prayer?
 For my luck has turned against me
 One more dime to show for my day
 One more dollar and I'm on my way
 When I reach those hills, boys, I'll never roam
 One more dollar and I'm going home
 One more dollar
 Boys I'm going home
