Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
A long time ago left my home
For job in the fruit trees
But I miss those hills with the windy pines
Their song seemed to suit meSo I sent my wages to my home
Said, we'd soon be 'gether
For the next good crop, pay my way
And I'd come home foreverOne 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 homeNo work, said the boss at bunkhouse door
There's freeze on the branches
So when the dice came out at bar downtown
I rolled and took my chancesOne 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 homeA long time ago left my home
Just a boy passing twenty
Could you spare a coin and a Christian prayer
My luck has turned against meOne 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
Just one more dollar and I'm going homeOne more dollar, boys, I'm going home
