One More Dollar (Alternate Version)

Lyrics

[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 Their song seemed to suit me [Verse 2] 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 bunkhouse 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] 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 [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 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 [Outro] One more dollar Boys, I'm going home
