One More Dollar
Author: Gillian Welch
A long time ago I left my home
For a job in the fruit trees
I miss those hills with the windy pines
For their song seems to suit me
I sent my wages to my home
Said we'd soon be together
For the next good crop would pay my way
I'll be coming 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
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 good luck wish (originally Christian prayer)
For my luck has turned against me
