one more dollar

Lyrics

a long time ago left my home, for job in the fruit trees, but i miss those hills with the windy pines, their song seemed to suit me, so i sent my wages to my home, said, we'd soon be 'gether, for the next good crop, pay my way, and i'd 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, 'cause one more dollar and i'm going home, no work, said the boss at bunkhouse door, there's freeze on the branches, so when the dice came out at bar downtown, i rolled and 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, 'cause one more dollar and i'm going home, a long time ago left my home, just a boy passing twenty, could you spare a coin and a christian prayer, 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, just one more dollar and i'm going home, one more dollar, boys, i'm going home
