Gillian Welch - One More Dollar Lyrics
A long time ago I left my homeFor a job in the fruit treesBut I missed those hills with the windy pinesFor their song seemed to suit meSo I sent my wages to my homeAns said we'd soon be togetherFor the next good crop would pay my wayAnd I would come home foreverOne more dime to show for my dayOne more dollar and I'm on my wayWhen I reach those hills, boysI'll never roamOne more dollar and I'm going homeNo work said the boss at the bunk house doorThere's a freeze on the branchesSo when the dice came out at the bar downtownI rolled and I took my chancesOne more dime to show for my dayOne more dollar and I'm on my wayWhen I reach those hills, boysI'll never roamOne more dollar and I'm going homeA long time ago I left my homeJust a boy passing twentyCould you spare a coin and a Christian prayerFor my luck has turned against meOne more dime to show for my dayOne more dollar and I'm on my wayWhen I reach those hills, boysI'll never roamOne more dollar and I'm going homeOne more dollarBoys I'm going home
