One More Dollar

CAPO 5. FRET

VERSE 1:

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

VERSE 2:

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

CHORUS:

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

VERSE 3:

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

CHORUS:...

VERSE 4:

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

CHORUS:...

One more dollar, boys I'm going home
