One More Dollar Lyrics - Gillian Welch

A long time ago I left my home 

For a 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 together 

For the next good crop would pay my way 

And I'd 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 

'Cause one more dollar and I'm going home

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

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
