Intro
SIm LA SOL LA RE
1st verse
RE LA RE
A long time ago I left my home
SOL RE
For a job in the fruit trees
LA RE
But I missed those hills with the windy pines
SOL RE
For their song seemed to suit me
LA RE
So I sent my wages to my home
SOL RE
Said we'd soon be together
LA RE
For the next good crop would pay my way
SOL RE
And I would come home forever
Chorus
SIm LA SOL LA RE
One more dime to show for my day
SIm LA SOL LA RE
One more dollar and I'm on my way
SIm LA SOL LA RE
When I reach those hills, boys I'll never roam
SIm LA SOL LA RE
One more dollar and I'm going home
2nd verse
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
Repeat Chorus
3rd verse
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
Repeat Chorus
