ONE MORE DOLLAR (Gillian Welch / David Rawlings)
Track 5 from "REVIVAL" (Almo, AMSD-80006)
CAPO 5
VERSE 1:
C G C
A long time ago I left my home
F C
For a job in the fruit trees
C G C
But I missed those hills with the windy pines
F C
For their song seemed to suit me
VERSE 2:
C G C
So I sent my wages to my home
F C
And said we'd soon be together
C G C
For the next good crop would pay my way
F C
And I would come home forever
CHORUS:
Am G F G C
One more dime to show for my day
Am G F G C
One more dollar and I'm on my way
Am G F G C
When I reach those hills, boys, I'll never roam
Am G F G C
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
