  D5            A5          D5
A long time ago I left my home
      G5  A5       D5
For a job in the fruit trees
      D5                         A5     D5
But I miss those hills with the windy pines
G5  A5           D5
Their song seemed to suit me

     D5            A5      D5
So I sent my wages to my home
          G5  A5      D5
Said we'd soon be together
        D5                   A5       D5
For the next good crop would pay my way
        G5  A5         D5
And I'd come home forever

B5  A5    G5   A5               D5
One more dime to show for my day
B5  A5    G5     A5              D5
One more dollar and I'm on my way
       B5          A5            G5          D5
When I reach those hills, boys, I'll never roam
       B5  A5    G5          A5         D5
'Cause one more dollar and I'm going home

   D5                 A5                 D5
No work said the boss at the bunkhouse door
          G5     A5       D5
There's a freeze on the branches
            D5                    A5       D5
So when the dice came out at the bar downtown
  G5     A5              D5
I rolled and I took my chances

B5  A5    G5   A5               D5
One more dime to show for my day
B5  A5    G5     A5              D5
One more dollar and I'm on my way
       B5          A5            G5          D5
When I reach those hills, boys, I'll never roam
       B5  A5    G5          A5         D5
'Cause one more dollar and I'm going home

D5 A5 D5  G5 A5 D5   D5 A5 D5 G5 A5 D5

  D5            A5          D5
A long time ago I left my home
       G5  A5        D5
Just a boy passing twenty
          D5                  A5         D5
Could you spare a coin and a Christian prayer
       G5   A5            D5
For my luck has turned against me

B5  A5    G5   A5               D5
One more dime to show for my day
B5  A5    G5     A5              D5
One more dollar and I'm on my way
       B5          A5            G5          D5
When I reach those hills, boys, I'll never roam
       B5  A5    G5          A5         D5
'Cause one more dollar and I'm going home

B5  A5    G5             A5         D5
One more dollar, boys, I'm going home
