One More Dollar |
| 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 |
| 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 |
