gillian welch – one more dollar (alternate version) lyrics

Loading...

[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
for their song seemed to suit me

[verse 3]
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

[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 4]
“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
one more dollar and i’m going home

[verse 5]
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
