[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
Their song seemed to suit me
[Verse 2]
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 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
'Cause one more dollar and I'm going home
[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 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
