CAPO 5. FRET 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 2: So I sent my wages to my home And 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 3: No work said the boss at the bunk house 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:... VERSE 4: 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
